Ezequiel Tovar’s giant Fall League steps were worth it

Ezequiel Tovar is 20 years old.

The average age of a player in the 2021 Arizona Fall League was nearly four years older than he was.

This was not unfamiliar territory for the breakout infielder.

The Colorado Rockies threw Tovar into the fire this fall, well aware that the shoes he was sent to fill were far bigger than the High-A sizing he was coming from. His numbers declined significantly — perhaps as expected — but his 25 games of action for the Salt River Rafters could pay dividends in development.
