Young Colorado Rockies shortstop Ezequiel Tovar turned in a 2024 season to be proud of. Not only did he sign a long-term extension with the Rockies that brings him and his family generational wealth, but his on-field performance was one that told the Rockies they had made the right decision to lock him down for the foreseeable future.
In 157 games, Tovar led the Rockies in hits, doubles, home runs, and total bases. He led all of Major League Baseball with 45 doubles, won his first career Gold Glove Award at shortstop thanks to his fantastic defense, and even received a few down-ballot MVP votes.
