- 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. LINK
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 - 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. LINK
6-10-13 - Aaron Nola, RHP,
Louisiana State - Like the other
pitchers on this list, Nola shows very good stuff. His fastball sits 89-93 and touches 94, with
good run. His slider and change are also
good pitches. Nola shows exceptional
command and can throw any pitch on any count. LINK
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. LINK

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.
