Notes
	Ezequiel Tovar's 2025 season was a step back on the surface (.253/.294/.400 in 95 games), but his underlying profile remained relatively stable, including a solid 39% hard-hit rate and improved strikeout rate (25.1%) compared to his 2024 breakout. Injuries limited his counting stats after a 26-HR, 3.8 WAR campaign in 2024, yet his batted-ball mix still supports mid-20s power in Coors Field. The 2026 projections (21 HR, 10 SB, 79 R, 74 RBI, .263 AVG) suggest a rebound to useful across-the-board production at the shortstop position. With everyday playing time in Colorado and a history of durable volume prior to 2025, Tovar profiles as a fantasy riser capable of returning top-12 value at the position if his 2024 power gains reappear over a full season.
