Sale started the 2024 Major League Minnesota Twins exhibition game at Cool Today Park in Northport, Florida, on the 26th (Korea time) and pitched three innings with three hits, one walk and six strikeouts.
Sale finished with one win, two losses and a 3.07 ERA in five exhibition games. He had a whopping 23 strikeouts. The number of strikeouts per nine innings is 14.1. WHIP 1.23, which is good.
Sale faced a crisis in the first inning when he caught Brian Buxton with a fly ball to right field and allowed consecutive hits to Carlos Santana and Kyle Farmer. However, he did not lose a point as he struck out Will Castro and grounded out Christian Vazquez to second base.
Taking the mound in the second inning with a 3-0 lead, Sale showed off his strikeout ability. After striking out Max Kepler with three pitches, Kale got a hit to the right by Miguel Margot. Then, he was once again faced with losing points by allowing two steals. Alex Kirilloff and Michael Helmen struck out consecutively to end the inning.
The third inning was good, too. After catching Buxton with a fly ball to center field, he allowed Santana a walk, but struck out Palmer and Castro in succession.
Sale was replaced by Tyler Matzek at the start of the fourth inning, completing all of his exhibition appearances.
Sale made his professional debut as the 13th overall pick in the first round of the 2010 draft. He made his big league debut in his first year as a pitcher, and after serving as a bullpen pitcher until the 2011 season, he changed his position as a starting pitcher in 2012. Sale has been on a roll with 17 wins as soon as he changed his title, and gained momentum by winning 10 titles for five consecutive years until 2016.
His relationship with the White Sox was short-lived. He acquired the Boston Red Sox through a trade before the 2017 season.
In his first year as a transfer player, he was second in the American League Cy Young Award with 17 wins and eight losses, 214 ⅓ innings, 308 strikeouts and an earned run average of 2.90. In the 2018 season, he pitched in 27 games and had a good time with 12 wins and four losses, 158 innings, 237 strikeouts, 48 walks and an earned run average of 2.11 WHIP of 0.86. He also made his first World Series appearance and succeeded in wearing a championship ring.
After winning the championship, however, the injury plagued Sale. He suffered a left elbow injury in August 2019 and underwent Tommy John surgery in March 2020. After a long period of rehabilitation, he returned in 2021 with a 3.16 ERA with 52 strikeouts and 16 walks in nine games and 42 ⅔ innings.
In 2022, he suffered various injuries, including ribs, fingers, and wrists. In particular, wrist injuries were caused by accidents while riding a bicycle. After all, he played in only two games in the 2022 season.
Ahead of the 2023 season, Sale looked healthy and started spring training. However, he felt shoulder discomfort in June and had not played for more than two months. He has six wins and five losses with 125 strikeouts and an ERA of 4.30 WHIP 1.13 in 102 ⅔ innings in 20 games.
After the end of the season, he changed his uniform again through trade. This time, he is Atlanta. And he signed a two-year, 38 million-dollar contract. Boston began providing 17 million dollars in annual salary assistance.
This time, he completed the exhibition game without any injuries. He is marking a good start to his two-year contract.
MLB.com also said, “Sale is excited about the upcoming opening as he conducts spring training without any health problems.”
