Draft Profile - RHP - Aaron Nola

#10 Aaron Nola Position: Right-handed Pitcher Bats: Right Handed Throws: Right Handed Height: 6'1" Weight: 196 lbs. Class: Junior Experience: 2 Letters City/State: Baton Rouge, La. High School: Catholic HS Major: Sports Administration Born: 06/04/1993

Like Max Pentecost, Nola has been rising up the board late after a late season surge and the death of Jeff Hoffman's arm. At 6'2" and 170lbs, Nola is probably the second most refined arm in this year's draft. He possesses the second best curve in the draft (behind the wild Touki Toussaint), which sits at around 77-80 and has resulted in a quite a few swing and misses for Nola this year. Fastball tops out at 95 and sits in the mid-low 90s (93-94). Was throwing 93-94 in the eighth last week. Potential plus changup at 82-85. Like Freeland, possesses great command. Has shown the ability to recover from rocky starts. Very minor mechanical concerns. Pitch count issue is nowhere near as bad as Rodon's. He'll be up in the majors fairly quick. Draft Position:3-9
