Aaron Nola is a professional baseball pitcher who plays for the Philadelphia Phillies in Major League Baseball (MLB). Born on June 4, 1993, in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, he stands 6 feet 2 inches tall and weighs 200 pounds. Nola bats and throws right-handed.
He began his MLB career with the Phillies in 2015 and has since established himself as a key player for the team. In September 2024, Nola’s performance was instrumental in the Phillies clinching their first National League East title since 2011.
However, in the 2025 season opener on March 30, Nola allowed five runs on six hits, including two home runs, over 5.1 innings in a 5-1 loss to the Washington Nationals. He did record eight strikeouts but did not issue any walks.
Nola signed a seven-year, $172 million contract with the Phillies in 2024, ensuring his position as a cornerstone of their pitching staff through at least the 2030 season.
