The Phillies’ most recent player to earn his 10th year of service was Kyle Schwarber earlier this season.
Nola has spent all 11 seasons of his MLB career with the Phillies after breaking into the league in 2015. He’s made one All-Star Game and been in the top seven for Cy Young voting three times.
Players’ service time in MLB begins when they are first added to a team’s active roster, and after they have spent a minimum of 43 days on the roster, they become eligible for pension benefits. To acquire 10 years of service in MLB, a player must spend 173 days on the active roster or injured list annually.

The Phillies’ staple on the mound has had the roughest start to a season in his career in 2025 with a 6.16 ERA across 49.2 innings as he’s dealt with injuries and is currently on the 60-day injured list.

However, Nola’s career in Philadelphia has been a historic one. He ranks top 10 in Phillies’ history in strikeouts, wins, and bWAR among pitchers.
Over his 11 years with the Phillies, Nola has a 3.78 ERA, pitched 1,671 innings, accumulated 1,835 strikeouts, and racked up 105 wins. He’s also thrown six complete games and four shutouts.
Although he won’t be on the mound for a while as he recovers from injury, his legacy will be honored by the Phillies.
The Phillies will host the San Diego Padres this afternoon at Citizens Bank Park.
