BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 41% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Ezequiel Tovar entered the season as the number-one prospect in the Colorado organization and his rookie season has been a wild ride. Tovar started the year ice cold but picked things up in a major way in June. He slumped again in July, before a hot August. Check out the monthly splits:
Month | BA | OPS |
Mar/Apr | .213 | .567 |
May | .266 | .767 |
June | .323 | .885 |
July | .216 | .583 |
August | .311 | .936 |
Through all the ups and downs, however, Tovar has put up a productive season. Especially considering he was just 21 years old back on Opening Day. On the year, he's batting .264 with a .739 OPS and has 14 homers, seven steals, and 117 runs-plus-RBI in 115 games. Tovar has all the tools to be an above-average hitter, and he gets to play half of his games in the most hitter-friendly environment in baseball. He should be rostered in most fantasy leagues.
