Ezequiel Tovar "Tracking" Towards Being Opening Day Shortstop
2 years agoFollowing a breakout season in which Colorado Rockies infielder Ezequiel Tovar stormed through the upper levels of the minors and made his major-league debut, manager Bud Black said the 21-year-old is "tracking" towards being the team's Opening Day shortstop in 2023. "He showed enough to us in what he did during the course of the year," Black said. "All our evaluators and player development people think that he is a guy that we can count on moving forward." The Rockies' No. 1 prospect hit .318 in 66 games at Double-A Hartford before a groin injury sidelined him for more than two months. Tovar had a hit in six of his first nine big-league games last year, and his fantasy stock is obviously on the rise as a potential every-day player right out of the gates in 2023.
