The story early in 2014 has centered around some of the top college pitchers in the class, namely Carlos Rodon and Jeff Hoffman, struggling to fully take a stranglehold on the top spot in the draft. But, then there is Aaron Nola, who doesn’t usually find himself in the discussion with those pitchers but simply keeps rolling on with dominant performance after dominant performance this spring. A picture of consistency, Nola has pitched himself right into the top ten overall picture and now has to be viewed as one of the most big league ready arms in the 2014 class.
