Chris Sale has been named the National League Cy Young winner, marking his first award after a stellar comeback season with the Atlanta Braves. The 35-year-old pitcher led the league in wins, ERA, and strikeouts, achieving a remarkable 18-3 record and a 2.38 ERA.

Sale's resurgence follows a challenging period marked by injuries, including Tommy John surgery. His performance this season mirrored his prime years, and he played a crucial role in the Braves securing a wild card playoff spot.
