The 31-year-old Nola was 4-1 with a 3.20 ERA through six starts in 2024. He finished 14-8 with a 3.57 ERA, helping the Phillies win the NL East. Nola, who agreed to a $172 million, seven-year contract with Philadelphia in February 2024, has stayed with his usual routine throughout his tough start to this year.

Aaron Nola's struggles with command and velocity remain a concern for the Phillies in 2025 as red flags persist.

Nola put together his best outing of the season so far, and the Phillies took the series from the Cubs, but not without their still persisting issues lingering.
