Novara Baseball has announced its first acquisition. 30-year-old Yulman Ribeiro is joining the team for the 2016 season, as they return to the Italian Baseball League. The Venezuelan right-hander with Portuguese passport has been no stranger to Italian Baseball, having pitched for Fortitudo Bologna, T&A San Marino and Godo in the IBL. He had an ERA of 2.12 in 34 innings this year. Novara replaces Godo in the IBL in 2016.
