Daily News | Bishop Eustace grad Zac Gallen emerging with the Diamondbacks
Zac Gallen bears an uncanny resemblance to Aaron Nola. From the long, curly locks that spill out from the back of his cap to the 6-foot-2 build, even to his mannerisms, the Arizona Diamondbacks right-hander could easily play Nola in a movie — or at least be his stunt double.
Gallen’s pitch mix is also eerily similar to Nola’s. His average fastball velocity is only in the 33rd percentile among pitchers. But like Nola, he leans heavily on a curveball, as well as a cutter and changeup. In 2018, Gallen played with Nola’s brother, Austin, in triple A with the Marlins. Austin Nola was learning to be a catcher, and Gallen leaned on him for insight.
But he’s old enough to remember the Phillies’ 2007-11 heyday. And he wasn’t surprised to see Citizens Bank Park rock last fall. His mother, Stacey, even attended Games 3, 4, and 5 of the World Series.“She was telling me about it and was like, ‘It’s crazy here,’” said Gallen, who spends most of the offseason in Phoenix. “She was saying, ‘I hope one day you get to play in something that’s like this.
