Rockies' Hitters Fantasy Baseball Preview | Ezequiel Tovar, Brenton Doyle, Ryan McMahon, Michael Toglia, Yanquiel Fernandez and More

After taking a look at some fantasy pitchers from the Colorado Rockies, let's look at the team's best hitters.

We've already gone over the Tampa Bay Rays (hitters and pitchers), Atlanta Braves (hitters and pitchers) and Chicago White Sox (hitters and pitchers) too.

Top Fantasy Hitters

Ezequiel Tovar and Brenton Doyle are two Colorado hitters firmly inside the Average Draft Position list right now.

Tovar is first, going around pick 110.6 on average so far. He was second on the team in fantasy points last season, finishing about 20 points behind Doyle.

In 157 games, Tovar improved his batting average to .269, while getting on base at a .295 clip (eight points higher than in 2023). Tovar hit 26 home runs, drove in 78 runs, stole six bases and scored 83 runs last year also. Everything but the stolen bases increased from 2024.

The 23-year-old shortstop is projected to hit second, behind Doyle and in front of the team's big boppers. It's a good fantasy spot to be in, but unless the bottom of the order is somewhat good, Tovar is likely going to be held back from being an elite fantasy option.

As is, he's a good daily starting option, and feels to have a pretty safe floor. I can see him increasing his numbers from last year, but only by a little bit.

Doyle led the team in fantasy points despite missing over 10 games. In 149 contests, Doyle had a .260 average and .317 OBP, with 23 home runs, 72 RBIs, 30 stolen bases and 82 runs scored.

He improved his numbers across the board from his rookie season in 2023. The 26-year-old outfielder is expected to play center and bat leadoff.

Doyle should be able to at least replicate his well-rounded numbers from a season ago, but is capped by what the bottom of the team's order can do. I was a bit confused to see him going after Tovar, but at pick 115.36 on average, it's not much later, and it makes sense considering he won't have the luxury of having anyone on base more often than Tovar.

Doyle is another daily starting option in my eyes. He's got a pretty solid floor, but his ceiling is capped a bit.

Other Starting Options

According to FanGraphs, Ryan McMahon, Kris Bryant, Michael Toglia, Thairo Estrada, Jordan Beck and Jacob Stallings are projected to be the other regular starters.

Nolan Jones and Kyle Farmer are expected to platoon. Hunter Goodman is the backup catcher option, while Sam Hilliard and Greg Jones are a couple bench options.

McMahon scored the most fantasy points last year among that group of players. 

In 153 games, McMahon had a .242 average, .324 OBP, 20 home runs, 65 RBIs, four stolen bases and 68 runs scored. He's produced very similar seasons for the past four years, so you should expect something similar again this season. There might be times where he's a standard league streaming option, but for the most part, McMahon is probably going to top out as a deep-league fantasy threat.

Toglia is the perfect example of most MLB hitters today - a low average and big power numbers.

Toglia had a .218 average and .311 OBP last season, but popped 25 home runs. He also drove in 55 runs, stole 10 bases and scored 62 runs. His average is likely going to hold him out of standard leagues, but the power could make him an enticing streamer in power streaks - he's a decent deep-league option because of all his power.

Estrada played just 96 games with the Giants last season. He had a .217 average and .247 OBP. Estrada also had nine home runs, 47 RBIs, two stolen bases and 43 runs scored.

If Estrada sticks in the lineup all season, he's got some bounceback potential. I think he'll top out as a deep-league fantasy option, but he's at least worth keeping tabs on.

Stallings appeared in 82 games a season ago, hitting .263 and getting on at a .357 clip. He hit nine home runs, drove in 36 runs and scored 31 times. 

Those are pretty solid numbers, but if he's only appearing in half the regular season games, he's not a keeper in any fantasy leagues. Goodman is about 10 years younger, and has some pop in his bat, so don't be surprised if a rebuilding Colorado team turns to Goodman more often this season.

Jones dealt with injuries last season and only got in 79 games. Durability has been an issue with him, and now in a platoon, it will be difficult for him to be a fantasy asset outside deeper leagues. He did have 20 homers and stolen bases in 2023, so he's one to keep tabs on.

Farmer might be projected in a platoon, but I think there's a chance the versatile defender could play even more, especially when he's hitting well. 

Bryant hasn't been a big fantasy threat since leaving the Cubs. He's played just 159 games over the past three seasons.

There's always a chance a talented hitter like Bryant gets going, but he's no more than a deep-league option to begin the season.

Beck played in 55 games in his rookie season in 2024. He had a .188 average, .245 OBP, three home runs, 17 RBIs, seven stolen bases and 14 runs scored.

Nothing there suggests Beck will be a big fantasy asset in 2025, but once a highly-regarded prospect, I'd at least keep track of Beck throughout the season. He'll get enough playing time to make a difference.

Hilliard and Jones aren't likely to be good fantasy assets unless an injury or two happens to open lots of playing time. 

Top Prospects

Colorado's top hitting prospect is Charlie Condon, and his ETA for the MLB is 2026. He was the third overall pick in the 2024 MLB Draft, so he needs more minor league seasoning for sure.

In his first 25 minor league games, Condon hit .180 and got on at a .248 clip. The versatile defender played through a hand injury, so hopefully he shows better numbers in 2025.

Zac Veen, Yanquiel Fernandez, Adael Amador and Drew Romo are some top-30 prospects from the end of 2024 to keep tabs on.

Veen has a career .260 average and a .355 OBP across four minor league seasons. He should get a crack in the big leagues at some point in 2025 and he's worth tracking as a former first-round pick.

Fernandez is a outfielder prospect who I've been a fan of for several years now. He has a .278 average and .334 OBP across four minor league seasons. Fernandez has 64 home runs and 299 RBIs across 405 minor league games. The outfielder should also get the call at some point in 2025.

Amador got 10 games and 35 big league at-bats in 2024. He hit just .171 and got on base at a .194 clip, but the team won't give up on him yet. In 331 minor league games, Amador has a .273 average and .383 OBP, with 45 home runs and 86 stolen bases. The middle infielder should get a crack at second if Estrada fails to produce.

Romo appeared in 16 MLB games, getting 51 at-bats in 2024. He had a .176 average and .208 OBP. Romo is a career .280 hitter with a .330 OBP in the minor leagues, with 38 home runs and 50 stolen bases across 360 games.

Bryant Betancourt, Kyle Karros, Ryan Ritter, Sterlin Thompson, Benny Montgomery and Cole Carrigg are other players age 25 or under who are in big league camp at the start of spring training.
