Aaron Nola’s August has been electric—2.74 ERA, 30 strikeouts, 7 walks in 4 starts—after a rough stretch that made every outing feel like a loss. While some success may be luck (like keeping runners on base), hitters are starting to pull the ball more, which could be a warning sign. But the real story? Nola’s domination of left-handed batters. After they crushed him all season, they’re now hitting just .207 against him, and his walk rate has plummeted. A slight boost in fastball velocity and smarter pitch mixing—especially with his curveball—have turned him into a reliable starter again, at least for the rest of the season.
