Aaron Nola
5-28-13 - Aaron Nola, RHP, LSU -
One of the best control artists in college, Nola also has power behind his
pitches. As a freshman, he had 87 strikeouts over 83.2 innings and walked just
seven. In his second start of his career, he threw 62 out of 78 pitches for strikes
against Tulane. The 6’-1”, 190-pound right-hander has been just as impressive
this year. In his first start against Maryland, he tossed 6.2 shutout innings,
allowing two hits while striking out nine to one walk. Against Brown in his
third start, he went seven scoreless, striking out 11 to no walks, allowing
three hits. Over his 19.2 innings on the season, he has 26 K/4 BB and has
allowed just nine hits. He uses his low-90s sinker to bury hitters and sets up
the pitch with a low-80s change-up with good deception. http://throughthefencebaseball.com/2014-mlb-draft/29840#fm24otWuYCEocLQZ.99
6-1-13 - College Baseball 360 @CB360updates - LSU's Aaron Nola (7IP-5UER-6H-3BB-6K)
pitcher of record when 4R t8 vs. Sam Houston (8-5)...SHSU's Caleb Smith no-dec.
(2.2-4R/3ER-6H-4BB)
6-9-13 - 6.Aaron Nola, RHP (LSU): The righty was
sitting in the low-to-mid 90s consistently in 2013, holding his velocity late
into games. He controls his fastball well, only allowing 17 walks in 109 IP. http://www.minorleaguerundown.com/2013/06/09/2014-mlb-draft-top-30-prospects/
6-9-13 - 16. Colorado Rockies — Aaron Nola, RHP, LSU -
Maybe the best control artist available in the 2014 MLB draft, the 6’-2”
right-hander features a plus, low-90s fastball with nasty sink to it. He
offsets his fastball with a deceptive change-up that freezes hitters. As a
freshman, he had 89 K/7 BB over 89.2 innings and 40 of those strikeouts were
looking. This season, he has been lights-out so far. Over 15 starts, he is 11-0
with a 1.82 ERA, 0.85 WHIP and 111 K/17 BB over 109 innings. His size limits his
upside, but you’d be hard pressed to find a better pitcher in the true sense of
the word out there. http://throughthefencebaseball.com/2014-mlb-mock-draft-1-0-no-time-like-the-present/34008#Vj5KQGPZZT1XUyhx.99
6-11-13 - 5. Aaron Nola, RHP, Louisiana State: What's a Draft class
without a top LSU arm? Nola was LSU's Friday starter this year, going 12-0 with
a 1.68 ERA, striking out nearly a batter per inning while holding hitters to a
.187 BAA. http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20130611&content_id=50293726&vkey=news_mlb&c_id=mlb&tcid=tw_article_50293726

6-16-13 - Aaron Fitt @aaronfitt - Aaron Nola and Plutko were both fantastic,
as expected. Nola was 87-90 late, had 92 when needed it. He loves that backdoor
breaking ball vs. LHHs.
