The Atlanta Braves closed out 2023 by including a former ace to their rotation.
On Saturday, it was introduced that the Braves had acquired Chris Sale from the Boston Red Sox in change for infielder Vaughn Grissom. The transfer offers the Braves an distinctive third starter behind Spencer Strider and Max Fried. Of course, Sale has handled myriad accidents just lately, having made solely 31 begins for Boston over the past three seasons, which is probably going at the very least a part of the rationale that Boston made him accessible. But when he does take the mound, Sale nonetheless reveals flashes of dominance, so if he can revert again to one thing resembling his previous self, the Braves might have gotten themselves a discount.
Which brings us to at present’s quiz of the day. Since 1900, a pitcher has reached the 300-strikeout mark in a season on simply 38 events, together with Sale, who did so in his first yr in Boston. So, with that in thoughts, what number of of those hurlers are you able to identify in 5 minutes?
Good luck!
