The day has come. The Phillies first round draft pick in 2014, will make his Major League debut just over a year from being drafted. Aaron Nola will be pitching for the Phillies for the first time next week.
The Phillies themselves broke the news on Twitter:
RHP @AaronNola10 will make his @MLB debut on Tuesday, July 21, against the Tampa Bay Rays at Citizens Bank Park.

The Phillies also added that Nola is the first Phillies pitcher since Pat Combs (1988, 1989) to be drafted one year and make his debut the next.
Nola, ironically, is coming off of what may be his worst professional start. Last night Nola lasted just three innings and surrendered five runs on seven hits in a 6-0 IronPigs loss.
