The LSU product blazed through the minors, earning a call-up mid-2015. He debuted against the <a href=\"https:\/\/sportrelay.com\/mlb\/category\/rays\/\">Tampa Bay Rays<\/a> on July 21, 2015, throwing up a quality start. He allowed one run on five hits across six innings, walking one and striking out six in a tough 1\u20130 loss. A leadoff home run in the third inning by Rays pitcher <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/k\/karnsna01.shtml?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=sportrelay.com&amp;utm_campaign=2023-11-19_br\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Nate Karns<\/a><\/strong> was his only blemish. He ultimately appeared in 13 games in 2015, all starts. He went 6\u20132 with a 3.59 ERA (92 ERA-minus), 68 strikeouts, 19 walks, and a 1.197 WHIP across 77 2\/3 innings.<\/p>\n<p>His sophomore season of 2016 did not go as well, with his 20 starts resulting in a 6\u20139 record with a 4.78 ERA (116 ERA-minus), 121 strikeouts, 29 walks, and a 1.306 WHIP across 111 innings. The first three starts of 2017 also did not go well for him, despite a 2\u20130 record. He allowed eight runs on 20 hits across 16 innings, striking out 15 and walking six while posting a 1.625 WHIP. In addition, his opponents slashed .318\/.377\/.413 in the three starts. The Phillies sent him down to Triple-A Lehigh Valley, where he dominated in his two starts. He went back to the majors for good afterwards.<\/p>\n<h3>Breakout Season<\/h3>\n<p>Aaron Nola had his best season in 2018. In 33 games, all starts, he went 17\u20136 with a 2.37 ERA (59 ERA-minus), 224 strikeouts, 58 walks, and a 0.975 WHIP across 212 1\/3 innings. In addition, he had a 2.1 home run percentage, 27.0 strikeout percentage, and 7.0 walk percentage. National League averages that season, for reference, were 2.9%, 22.4%, and 8.7%, respectively. The 20.0% difference between his strikeout percentage and walk percentage were well above the NL average of 13.8%. His efforts made him the third-place finisher in Cy Young voting for the season. In addition, the Phillies gave him the aforementioned contract, avoiding arbitration.<\/p>\n<p>In Nola\u2019s career, he has gone 90\u201371 in 235 appearances with a 3.72 ERA (88 ERA-minus), 1582 strikeouts, 371 walks, 169 home runs allowed, and 1.129 WHIP across 1422 innings. He has a 2.9 HR%, 27.2 K%, 6.4 BB%, and 20.8 K\u2013BB%. The major league averages over his career are 3.1%, 22.1%, 8.4%, and 13.8%, respectively.<\/p>\n<h3>Looking Ahead<\/h3>\n<p>By re-signing Nola, the Phillies now have four starting pitchers under contract for 2024. The other three are <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/w\/wheelza01.shtml?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=sportrelay.com&amp;utm_campaign=2023-11-19_br\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Zack Wheeler<\/a><\/strong> ($23.5 million in 2024), <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/w\/walketa01.shtml?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=sportrelay.com&amp;utm_campaign=2023-11-19_br\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Taijuan Walker<\/a><\/strong> ($18 million), and <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/s\/suarera01.shtml?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=sportrelay.com&amp;utm_campaign=2023-11-19_br\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Ranger Suarez<\/a><\/strong>.
