Ezequiel Tovar is getting national recognition for his defensive prowess that’s been apparent to Rockies fans for two years. Tovar won his first National League Rawlings Gold Glove Award on Sunday, after the Colorado shortstop led the majors at the position with an 11.2 ultimate zone rating, an advanced stat that quantifies how many runs a player saved defensively. At 23 years and 60 days, Tovar is the youngest shortstop to win the Gold Glove Award in NL history, and the second-youngest player in franchise history to win the honor behind Nolan Arenado in 2013 (22 years, 167 days). After being a finalist for the award last year, Tovar took home the Gold Glove this season with a prolific summer.
