Chris Sale achieved a significant milestone by recording his 2,500th career strikeout, setting the record for the fastest pitcher in MLB history to reach this mark in 2,026 innings pitched. This milestone reflects his impressive tenure with the Chicago White Sox, where he recorded 1,244 of those strikeouts from 2010 to 2016. Despite struggling with injuries in Boston, which hampered his ability to pitch consistently, Sale's performance has solidified his status as one of the leading strikeout artists in baseball, now ranking 40th all-time in strikeouts.
After Scherzer and Kershaw, Justin Verlander is the only other active pitcher with 2,500 Ks.
Sale's total ranks him 40th in MLB history, making him a prominent figure in baseball strikeout lore.
