Fantasy Baseball: Aaron Nola Is Poised to Take Another Step Forward in 2018

After a breakout 2017 season, the Philadelphia Phillies right-hander could be in line for an All Star season in 2018.

When you think of the elite starting pitchers in Major League Baseball, Philadelphia Phillies ace Aaron Nola is not one of the first pitchers that comes to mind. And with regard to fantasy baseball, Nola doesn't fit the profile of the stud flamethrower like Noah Syndergaard, Max Scherzer, or Jacob deGrom. He doesn't have the pedigree of Chris Sale or Clayton Kershaw, and he isn't as highly regarded as Corey Kluber or Stephen Strasburg.
