Ezequiel Tovar

The 24-year-old shortstop enters 2026 as Colorado's everyday option at the position, though early returns suggest significant regression from his 2025 campaign. His batting average has dipped to .207 through early action, a concerning 46-point drop that raises questions about his plate discipline and contact rate after showing modest improvement the prior year. While Tovar still provides moderate pop with six home runs and contributions across all offensive categories, the steep decline in both average and run production limits his upside as a starter in most fantasy leagues. Managers should monitor whether this slowdown represents a temporary adjustment or a troubling trend, as the MiLB Organization All-Star has yet to establish himself as a reliable fantasy asset at his age and experience level.
