Chris Sale (34, Atlanta Braves), a top pitcher in American professional baseball (MLB)
who suffered from frequent injuries, has shown signs of revival.
Sale started the exhibition game against the Pittsburgh Pirates held at Lecom Park in Bradenton, Florida, USA on the 28th (Korean time)
and pitched two innings, allowing no hits and no runs.
Chris Sale, who threw 25 pitches, showed a powerful performance,
using a fastball with a top speed of 157 km/h and striking out 4 without walking,
even though it was his first appearance on the mound. 카지노
Sale, who recorded more than 10 wins every year from 2012 to 2018,
was selected as an All-Star every year and played as a left-handed pitcher representing the Major League.
In 2018, he also played a key role in the Boston Red Sox’s World Series victory.
However, he suffered from injuries one after another and was unable to play properly.
Chris Sale, who ended the season due to elbow pain in August 2019,
underwent ligament replacement surgery in April 2020.
Sale returned in the second half of 2021 after a long rehabilitation and appeared in 9 games.
However, the following year, in spring camp in 2022,
he was placed on the injured list (IL) again due to a rib stress fracture.
He returned in July of that year, but had the misfortune of breaking his left little finger on a batted ball during a game.
During his rehabilitation, he fell while riding his bicycle and broke his right wrist.
Sale, who appeared in only 2 games in 2022, appeared in 20 games in 2023,
but was placed on the IL again due to a shoulder injury and recorded only 6 wins and 5 losses.
Sale, who was eventually traded from Boston to Atlanta at the end of last year, showed his former power in spring training, raising fans’ expectations.
After the game, Sale expressed satisfaction, saying, “The most important thing in spring camp is to feel healthy and build strength while throwing strikes.
In that respect, I am very happy.”
