A couple weeks ago, I was perusing some Royals content on this internet and I came across Alec Lewis’s awesome piece on prospect Brady Singer for The Athletic. In it, he cited current LSU coach, Paul Mainieri, comparing Singer to former LSU pitcher, Aaron Nola.
You said Aaron Nola? Like...Phillies ace Aaron Nola? Like...Top 20 in xFIP among starting pitchers in 2019 Aaron Nola? Well that got my attention quite a bit so I wanted to dive into why that comparison came about (because Singer was very good in college) and what that could mean for him in the future (Singer could be very good in the majors) and when we could start to see this unfold.
