How Ezequiel Tovar’s Surprising Leadership Sparked a Rockies Revolution in the World Baseball Classic
Tovar went 8-for-17 at the plate with three doubles and two stolen bases. Perhaps his best performance came during pool play against Israel in which he went a perfect 3-for-3 with a walk in four plate appearances. Tovar also played a critical role in Venezuela’s upset of Samurai Japan in the quarterfinals. Against a strong Japanese pitching staff led by Los Angeles Dodgers All-Star Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Tovar went 3-for-4 with two doubles, scored three times, stole a base, and recorded the final out of the game off the bat of Shohei Ohtani to eliminate Japan from the tournament.
The Rockies’ shortstop again came to play in the final match against the United States where he went 2-for-4 as Venezuela completed their championship run. Following their victory ceremony, Tovar was named shortstop for the the All-World Baseball Classic team.
