Scouting Report: Initially cut as a walk on at Santa Clara, Nava went to JuCo and excelled, ultimately returning to Santa Clara for his senior season. He went undrafted and again proved the doubters wrong by excelling in independent baseball in 2007, earning the spot as Baseball America's #1 independent prospect. He then proceeded to win the California League batting crown in 2008, albeit at the age of 25. Nava is a well-rounded player - has a great bat with a little bit of pop, excellent plate discipline, average speed, and a strong arm in right. He still hasn't played against age-appropriate competition, but if he excels there, he has the makings of a unique success story.
