Phillies right-hander Aaron Nola has been one of baseball’s best, more durable pitchers for nearly a decade. 

From 2017-24, he ranks first in baseball in innings pitched (1,432 2/3); second in strikeouts (1,590); and third in baseball in wins (92) and WAR (34.0). He’s helped the Phillies make the postseason each of the past three seasons.

Nola joined the show from Clearwater, Fla., to talk about the things that have made him successful – his curveball and preparation, for starters – plus, how he fulfilled a lifelong dream of having his own baseball spikes and his charity poker tournament on May 15 at Citizens Bank Park that will benefit veterans.
