He also led the NL in ERA+, HR\/9, SO\/9 and FIP. His 6.4 fWAR was the second best of his career.<\/p>\n<p id=\"7o3WQv\">Sale was coming off a season in which he pitched in 20 games for the Boston Red Sox in 2023. Although he was a slightly above average pitcher that season, his career had been side-tracked by injuries going back to 2019, when he started 25 games for the Red Sox. Between 2020 and 2022 he pitched in only 11 games.<\/p>\n<p id=\"LNwggT\">Sale, the favorite to win the National League Cy Young after finishing in the top six in seven season in the American League, also won a Gold Glove Award earlier this off-season.<\/p>\n<p id=\"2Mabsn\">Sale is the fourth Atlanta Braves player to win the award since it began in 2005. Other award winners were Tim Hudson, Jonny Venters and Josh Donaldson.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Atlanta Braves starting pitcher wins another award for his stellar 2024 season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":8548,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8545","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mlb"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>CONGRATULATE: Chris Sale named the 2024 NL Comeback Player of the Year!
