Over the years, they have left us a huge number of great things, among which the names are Alfonso Carrasquel, Pompeiuso Davalillo, Luis Aparicio, David Concepción, Omar Vizquel, Alex González, César Izturis, Alcides Escobar, Elvis Andrus and Miguel Rojas.

At the baseball scouting level, the scale to rate players ranges from 20 points (lowest score) to 80 points (highest score). On this scale, an attribute that is rated at 70 or 80 points is considered a star attribute by Big Screens.
With this in mind, we can make a better guess that Ezequiel Tovar’s defense is rated 70, which means that he has the potential to become a defensive star in the league.
Tovar has been considered for several years as one of the best mitts in all of the Minor Leagues, because of his good work, solid hands and a good arm.
IT’S TOVAR TIME🚨

However, 2021 was an important crisis for Tovar’s offensive section, which continued to become quite aggressive, with good contact and occasional power tools that could make him a star.
Tovar is coming off a .319/.387/.540 offensive line in the 2022 minor league system, with 14 homers and 49 RBIs. In his first nine major league games, he hit .212/.257/.333 with a home run and two RBIs. If he can match his defensive skills, he will be a special player.
