Chris Sale fastest ever to 2,500k

Pretty shocked about this stat

Also speaks to the longevity of Ryan.

Braves' Sale fastest to reach 2,500 career K's

Chris Sale's 2,500th strikeout came in his 2,026th inning, the fastest time frame in which a pitcher has reached that mark.

The Braves send a big thank you to the Boston Red Sox. Glad he's turned it around since being traded to Atlanta. Had a few good seasons in Boston but a disaster for the most part with injuries and bad luck. Always been one of my favorite pitchers.

Nothing but a result of the increased K rate in today's game.

He should have waited and hit the record tonight against his old team. lol

Sale is 36 yo.... 2500 K's. Halfway to Ryans 5714 K's.
Nolan Ryan pitched until he was 46 yo.

2nd highest K's Randy Johnson 4,875 K's ~800 less (17%) than Ryan. I think Ryans record will stand for a while until some amazing pitcher goes into their late 40's again.

Ryan’s record is unbeatable I think
