Long-limbed, high-waisted 6-foot-5, 195-pound frame on the mound. Kentucky commit. The projectable left-handed pitcher works from a fluid tempo, downhill delivery, landing in-line with home plate and extension out front. Throws from a long, clean arm action and ¾ release. Good arm speed. Fastball sat 86-88 mph with late tail life, spin averaging 2424 rpm. Smaller 2/8 breaking ball with depth and feel thrown 74-75 mph, spinning at 2421 rpm. Firm changeup shows late fade and sink action with above-average life, kept low in the zone at 80-81 mph.

Long and loose lefty with a clean arm action. Six-foot-5, 185 pound Kentucky recruit who looked to be a fair athlete and longer twitch. Projectable with downhill delivery from a high three-quarter slot producing near present average arm speed. Fastball sat 84-86 mph spinning at 2,249 rpm with a 2,352 max while showing tailing life and some jump to the plate. Also mixed in a shorter breaking curveball at 71-72 mph with spin rates similar to his fastball and one tailing changeup at 77 mph, spinning at 1,937. Nove is still somewhat raw at this point, but he competed and threw strikes during his 26-pitch outing at the ProCase.

Positional Profile: LHP Body: 6-5, 180-pounds. Delivery: Improved body control and overall command of zone, easier actions, repeats delivery well. Arm Action: LH. Long and loose from ¾ slot with minimal effort. FB: T86, 84-86 mph. Lively fastball for strikes that plays up with minimal effort. Jumps on hitter. CB: 72-75 mph. Breaking ball has developed; consistently landing in zone with 1/7 shape. CH: 75-78 mph. Firm with late running action away from RHH.
7/30/18- 6-foot-4, 180-pound left-handed pitcher. Longer projectable frame on mound. Athletic high knee balance point. Long arm swing with quickness out front. Fastball was 80-83 mph with later arm side running action away from RHH. Throws avg. 1/7 breaking ball for strikes; solid shape and can be used to pitch hitter backwards. Slight arm-side run on changeup. Projects well physically, is left-handed, arm works well, and should continue to progress and make quality strides on mound.
