How Ezequiel Tovar’s Surprising Leadership Sparked a Rockies Revolution in the World Baseball Classic
The Colorado Rockies had their own part to play in this year’s World Baseball Classic. Not only did Venezuela have multiple Rockies on their championship roster, but the Rockies were well represented throughout the entire tournament. Their 12 players (and one coach) were one of the largest delegations of any Major League team. Each participating Rockie would have their role to play while wearing their nation emblazoned on their chest.
Team Israel (2-2, eliminated in group stage)
In all honesty, Team Israel didn’t stand much of a chance in a Pool D that also included semifinalist Dominican Republic and eventual champion Venezuela. However, they finished 2-2 with wins over Nicaragua and the Netherlands to avoid relegation and having to requalify for the next Classic.
Rockies prospect Cole Carrigg (no. 4 PuRP) had a somewhat difficult showing for Israel. Playing regularly at shortstop for the first time in a few seasons, Carrigg appeared in all four group stage games. He went 2-for-15 at the plate with an RBI and two strikeouts. His best game came in Israel’s 5-0 shutout of Nicaragua in which he went 2-for-4 with an RBI and two stolen bases.
