Ezequiel Tovar: is a fantasy baseball waiver wire pickup for hitters heading into Week 18 (2023). Target Tovar as a free agent shortstop on the waiver wire.
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 40% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: One week ago, Ezequiel Tovar was over the 50-percent rostered threshold, and it seemed the 21-year-old budding star was on his way to helping several fantasy teams win championships. Alas, his roster rate is down to 40 percent, and it's baffling as to why. He's got six hits in his last six games, scored two runs, and drove in a run. Not superstar production, but certainly not worth booting from your fantasy team.

Entering the season, Tovar was ranked as the number-one prospect in the Colorado farm system. He struggled mightily in April - there's no sugarcoating his .213 batting average - but he's really turned the corner after a slow start. Since May 1, Tovar is slashing .278/.306/.474 with all nine of his home runs on the season. His hard-hit rate of 37.2 percent is above league-average and he plays half of his games in the most hitter-friendly environment in baseball.
