Phillies 6-Man Rotation and the Importance of Pitching

As the 2015 season begins to wind down, Phillies management seems ready to give some rest to the promising young pitchers who currently make up a large portion of the Phillies starting rotation. The club has decided to move to a 6-man rotation for the balance of this season.

The most notable name on the list is Aaron Nola, the club’s top pick in the 2014 MLB Amateur Daft. Nola has had an impressive showing since being called up to the Majors. He is currently sporting an ERA of 3.56, and has emerged as a calm and confident force to be reckoned with on the mound.
