Aaron Nola News
Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Aaron Nola didn't have his best outing on Wednesday at Atlanta, but managed to post a quality start despite falling to 9-9 on the season. This start was likely the last for Nola in what was a disappointing campaign for the hurler drafted as a top-10 starting pitcher back in March. There's no sugarcoating how bad his 4.64 ERA was, but Nola made other positive contributions in fantasy as he posted a strong 1.13 WHIP and reached the 200-strikeout plateau for the third-straight full season as he whiffed 223 batters at a healthy 29.8% K-rate. Expect Nola to bounce back in 2022 as his 3.25 SIERA, 3.35 xFIP, and 3.41 expected ERA all imply he was much better than his final line indicates.
Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Aaron Nola allowed six runs across six innings, but still earned his ninth win of the season on Thursday versus Pittsburgh. As has been the case all year, Nola pitched significantly better than his final line indicates. He was one pitch away from escaping a bases-loaded jam in the second inning, but he gave up a bloop single. To the opposing pitcher. On an 0-2 pitch. The next batter hit an opposite-field three-run homer that barely escaped the yard. Sigh. Despite his night being soiled early, Nola buckled down and picked up eight K's and at one point retired 12 straight batters as he was absolutely cruising. He was pinch-hit for despite throwing just 80 pitches, but pinch-hitter Ronald Torreyes hit a go-ahead three-run homer, so it worked out to give Nola the win. Start him next week versus Atlanta. It's risky, but Nola is not as bad as his 4.64 ERA and he'll be a popular bounce-back candidate in 2022 drafts.
Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Aaron Nola allowed one run over 5 2/3 innings to earn his eighth victory Saturday at the Mets. Nola had his good stuff in this one as he picked up nine strikeouts against just one walk. It hasn't always been pretty, but Nola has had another strong season despite his 4.48 ERA. The right-hander has one of the biggest gaps between his actual ERA and his skill-based ERA indicators since his SIERA (3.20), xERA (3.41), and xFIP (3.29) all imply his ERA should be at least a run lower. Nola's 1.11 WHIP is well above average and he's striking batters out at a healthy 30 percent clip. He'll will be a popular bounce-back candidate in 2022 drafts, but for now, fantasy managers should keep starting Nola and hope for another positive result Thursday versus the Pirates.

The draft stock on Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcherAaron Nola dropped a bit following a 2019 season that was solid, but far from outstanding. He really rewarded those who drafted him in 2020 with a stellar stat line that featured a 3.28 ERA, a 1.08 WHIP and a huge 33.2% strikeout rate. That came on the back of him significantly changing his arsenal. In 2020, he threw four different pitches over 20% of the time. He has one of the game's best curveballs, a strong changeup and a really effective four-seamer and sinker combination. Nola was incredibly hard to predict and generated tons of whiffs and ground balls last year. Maybe the strikeout rate won't stay above 30% in 2021, but the ground-ball rate has always been high for him, so we should expect more of the same in that area. The floor is sky-high for this 27-year-old, and the ceiling is there as well after the changes he made in 2020. Nola is going outside of the top-10 starting pitchers in some fantasy drafts, making him one of the better values in the early rounds and a great guy to anchor your fantasy staff.
