    • New York Yankees (2010–present)

    Iván Manuel Nova Guance (born January 12, 1987) is a Dominican professional baseball player. A pitcher, Nova competes in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the New York Yankees. Nova made his MLB debut in 2010. He bats and throws right-handed.

    The Yankees signed Nova as an international free agent in 2004. After pitching in minor league baseball through the 2008 season, the San Diego Padres selected Nova from the Yankees in the Rule 5 draft. However, the Padres opted not to carry Nova on their 25-man roster, and returned him to the Yankees. After a breakout season in the minors for the Yankees in 2009, he reached MLB with the Yankees in 2010. Nova established himself as a key member of the Yankees' starting rotation during the 2011 season.
