Aaron Nola Phillies Autographed 11x14 Photo Framed

Nola made his major league debut for the Phillies on July 21, 2015, and earned his first career win July 26, throwing 7 2?3 innings. He finished his first year in the majors with a 6-2 record with a 3.59 ERA. Going into his second year in the majors Nola went on a hot streak posting a 5-2 record with a 1.68 ERA early on in the season. On the 2016 season, his 9.81 strikeouts per 9 innings pitched; at the time, 6th-best for any Phillies pitcher ever.


As his career continued, he kept improving and in 2017, had a fielding percentage of 1.000, which led all NL pitchers. After finishing 2017 with a 3.54 ERA, he followed it up the next year by being selected as a 2018 National League All-Star. On July 9, Nola notched his 36th career win in a 3-1 victory over the New York Mets, tying him with Hall of Famer Grover Cleveland Alexander for most wins in a Phillies pitcher's first 79 career starts. He also became the first to 12 wins and an ERA under 3.50 in the team's first 89 games of a season since 1916. Nola held left-handed batters to a .187 batting average, the lowest average among major league pitchers, on his way to being a finalist for the NL Cy Young Award.

Nola was selected to pitching Opening Day for the fourth year in a row in 2021, the longest streak by a Phillies pitcher since Steve Carlton opened ten seasons in a row between 1977 and 1986. On April 18, 2021, Nola threw his first complete game shutout in the MLB, beating the St. Louis Cardinals 2-0. Less than two months later, on June 1, Nola recorded his 1,000th career strikeout. He was the fastest Phillies pitcher to reach that number, doing so in 913 innings, and joined Cole Hamels and Steve Carlton as the only Phillies pitchers to record 1,000 or more strikeouts before the age of 28. On June 25, Nola struck out 10 consecutive batters in a game against the Mets, tying Tom Seaver's April 22, 1970 record for most consecutive strikeouts in a game. For the 2021 season, he had the lowest LOB percentage in the majors among pitchers, at 66.8%.
