2023 Chachi #10 Aaron Nola


#27
Aaron Michael Nola
Starting Pitcher

Bats:  Right  Throws:  Right  Height:  6'2"  Weight:  200
Opening Day Age:  29
Born:  June 4, 1993, Baton Rouge, LA
Acquired:  Drafted by the Phillies in the 1st round (7th pick) of the 2014 amateur draft, June 5, 2014
Contract Status:  Signed through 2023
Major League Teams:  Philadelphia Phillies 2015-2023
World Series Appearances:  Philadelphia Phillies 2022

Durable and reliable Aaron Nola has been with the Phillies for nine seasons at this point, and when he hopefully signs a multi-year contract extension he'll remain with the Phillies for several more seasons.  With Rhys Hoskins, Nola was one of the key building blocks already in place when the Phillies front office started making moves that ultimately led to a World Series appearance in 2022.  Nola has made six straight opening day starts and surpassed the 200-innings pitched plateaus in 2018 (his All-Star season), 2019 and 2022.  He's finished in the top 10 for Cy Young voting in three seasons, including a third place finish in 2018 when he won 17 games and led all National League pitchers with a 9.7 bWAR.

As evidenced below, Nola has been a frequent autograph signer over the years, posing annually with our sons for a quick picture and always offering a smile.
