Aaron Nola Set for Pivotal WBC Start Against Mexico

Aaron Nola will take the mound for Italy on Wednesday in a high-stakes WBC matchup against Mexico. The outcome of this game will determine if Team USA advances to the semifinals, as the Americans rely on specific tiebreaker scenarios. Nola, who has looked sharp in spring training with a 94 mph fastball and six strikeouts over five innings, is currently focused on helping Italy while indirectly influencing the fate of his USA teammates and fellow Phillies.
