Tovar has been working on his swing this season. Colorado manager Warren Schaeffer said the young infielder is committed to being better.
"The hard work that he's been putting in and the adjustments that he's been making, that's the big deal," said Schaeffer. "The emotions are just a separate thing, but he looks more comfortable at the plate in his approach."
Tovar is known for his defense. He won a Gold Glove Award in 2024. It is his offense where he sees room for improvement.

"I'm not always focused on the results," he said. "I know that it's a whole process. The process is fine as long as I'm working hard and doing everything I can do in practice. The results will show when you can keep that progression. So, I always have to keep my head up high, no matter what, and the results are going to come.
"They're starting to come."
