How is Chris Sale performing?
Chris Sale is a durable starter profile through 14 starts. He's averaging 6.1 innings per outing, providing consistent length, and his 32.3% strikeout rate with a 30.3% whiff rate show moderate swing-and-miss stuff. Neither metric is elite, but the combination suggests a pitcher who relies on command and sequencing to eat innings rather than pure velocity or dominance. The profile fits a reliable mid-rotation arm.
