ANALYSIS: The New York Yankees have had nothing short of a remarkable year. The return of Ivan Nova came just in time.
Since Nova returned in late June, he has posted a 3.72 ERA with a 2:1 K/BB ratio and 4 QS. He's helped to stabilize a sometimes shaky rotation.
Nova has not given up more than 4 ER in any start in 2015, but he has also only made it through to the 7th inning just once. His 4.12 FIP needs some work but his .270 BABIP is 30 points lower than his career average. He is holding opposing batters to a .240 BA while also shrinking his HR/9 to .78 over his two month stint.
Nova is not going to be a flashy pitcher with great peripherals, but he can get the job done with plenty of run support. If he can show some consistency down the stretch, Nova can turn into a cheap buy low SP for the rest of this season. He may even be a draft sleeper or sneaky keeper for 2016.
