Tovar's Fastball Funk: Rockies' Slumping Star
Description
Rockies Ezequiel Tovar struggles with a slump against four-seam fastballs, batting just .197 this season. Despite a six-run lead, the Rockies lost to the Braves, with Tovar grounding out in the ninth. Pitchers are exploiting his tendency to chase breaking balls, throwing fastballs in 75% of his pitches. Tovar, 24, views this as a learning experience, while manager Schaeffer remains confident in his talent. The team is adjusting by pinch-hitting for Tovar late and using versatile Willi Castro to spell him at short. Expect Tovar to bounce back and start crushing fastballs soon.
