Daily News | Inside the training routine that makes the Phillies’ Aaron Nola baseball’s most durable pitcher
The Phillies' Aaron Nola has made more starts and thrown more innings than any pitcher in baseball since 2018.CLEARWATER, Fla. — Dong Lien always knew when it was almost Aaron Nola’s turn to pitch. The music coming from theweight room — “The Red” by Chevelle, something from Shinedown, maybe a little Greta Van Fleet — gave it away.
There’s plenty of quality to go with all that quantity. Nola, who will turn 30 in June, has the third-most strikeouts since 2018 and a 122 ERA+, meaning he’s 22% better than average adjusted for league and ballpark. He finished third in the Cy Young voting in 2018 and fourth last season. The Phillies drafted Nola seventh overall out of LSU in 2014. Thirteen months later, he made his major-league debut. A year after that, he narrowly avoided the worst injury scare of his career.
Over the years, Nola has incorporated massage therapy. He uses heated cups on his skin to reduce pain and improve blood flow. Arrieta got him into Pilates to optimize flexibility and loosen up his lower back. Some days, he switches out the stationary bike for running.
