2019 Phillies in Review: Aaron Nola

12-7, 202.1 IP, 3.87 ERA, 229 K, 80 BB, 1.265 WHIP, 3.4 fWAR

The Good

Look at how absolutely NASTY his curveball movement is.

Watch him strike out 12 batters in 21 seconds.

This changeup? It should be illegal.

And this curve? Rest in Peace, Dom Smith.

He struck out 10+ batters four times this season, including matching a career-high 12 batters on May 18.

The Bad

Nola pitched a career-high 212.1 innings in 2018 and the effects of that workload showed early in the 2019 season.
