Aaron Nola is part of a strong starting rotation for the Phillies, which includes Zack Wheeler, Cristopher Sanchez, and Ranger Suarez. While the group has proven capable of competing in the playoffs over the past three seasons, they have struggled to secure a championship due to offensive shortcomings and bullpen issues. Nola's performance will be crucial as the team considers its options for the upcoming season, especially with uncertainty surrounding Taijuan Walker's future and the innings limit for superstar prospect Andrew Painter.
