Since receiving a 7-figure bonus out of the Dominican Republic as a 16-year old, Nova has been regarded as one of the most talented players in the Houston system as an infielder with the potential to hit for average and power. In his limited rookie ball action in 2017 and 2018, Nova handled the bat well, including a .308 batting average in the GCL last year, evidencing the potential that has been recognized in him since a young age. This season, Nova was left in extended spring training for awhile before joining the River Bandits as a 19 year old, and he’s amassed 59 games played in the Midwest League since.
