After being dumped by the Indians and biding his time in the independent Frontier League, the Yankees signed Nuno in June 2011. Two years later, he was pitching in Yankee Stadium. Nuno had the best control in the organization coming into 2013 and threw quality strikes in the majors as well before a left groin strain ended his campaign in June. Nuno returned in the Arizona Fall League and carved up hitters with fringy stuff and plus command. He relies on a sinker/slider combination, with a fastball in the 87-90 mph range. He has a knack for pitching, and can locate his curveball and changeup. Nuno will compete for a starting role but could wind up in the bullpen, or back at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre
