Yanks hoping for super Nova
Ivan Nova is up from Triple-A Scranton/WilkesBare and will start in Toronto tonight. A good showing in his first big league start will surely keep Nova in the rotation. He was 12-3 with a 2.86 ERA in Triple-A.
The scourting report on Nova: he throws a 4-seam fastball estimated at 91-94mph, a 2-seamer at 89-92, a a circle-changeup (82-85mph), and a curveball. His best pitch is said to be his sinking, 2-seam fastball.
