Pittsburgh Pirates: Hitter’s Numbers Against Chris Sale

The Pittsburgh Pirates have a tall, lanky, deceptive, hard-throwing task to get by if they want to get a win tonight. Chris Sale has been one of the most dominant pitchers in baseball over the course of his career. Last year, Sale went 17-10, a 3.34 earned run average, and a 5.2 WAR. He was also part of the biggest acquisition of this past off-season. Sale was shipped to Boston from the Chicago White Sox for a package of prospects. The White Sox acquired the top infield prospect in baseball in Yoan Moncada and Michael Kopech,a top 30 prospect in baseball, among others.
