Weight: 162 lbs
Hits/Throws: R/R
Acquired: 2017 IFA
RuleV: 2022
Physical Description: Tall athletic frame, high waisted with lots of room to add muscle. At this point present strength is lacking.
Hit: Good bat to ball skills, linear plane, most contact comes in the way of line drives and ground balls. Sets up closed off at plate showing his numbers to the pitcher. Slight leg lift trigger, quiet hands, above average bat speed. Patient approach at the plate will work the count. Some difficulty picking up spin. Lack of impact at the point of contact. Inside out approach that relies on above-average foot speed. Grade: 40
Power: Lack of present power, some projection remains that he can get to a below average power profile. At this point over-the-fence power is not part of Tovar's game. Grade: 30
Field: Strong athletic defender at shortstop. Quick first step and cat-like reflexes defensively. Good range, covers a lot of space on the left side of the dirt. Clean infield actions with smooth motions and clean hands. Flashy player at times showcasing his strong glove skills. There are no questions about whether or not Tovar can stick at shortstop long term. Grade: 60
Arm: Strong throwing arm with ability to make hard accurate throws. Shows zip and carry consistently from deep in the hole, hits his intended target with regularity and gets rid of the ball quickly. Grade: 55
Run: Above average run times that could slow as he matures, but should settle as an average runner long term. Shows strong instincts on the bases, stealing at a high success rate. Shows quickness in the field and agility moving laterally. Grade: 55
Overall: Below average hitter with supporting skills that may allow him to carve out a long term utility role if his offensive skills don't improve with time. One of the best infield defenders in the system and an asset on the base paths.
