Related Topics: Michael Toglia, Colorado Rockies

Michael Toglia is a switch-hitter (lefty thrower) with great raw power who should provide plus defense at first base and below average defense in right field, where he played in 17 of his 32 MLB games in 2022 but in only nine of his 270 minor league contests. The 24-year-old, 6’5”, 226-pound slugger was picked 23rd overall in 2019 and signed for an under-slot $2.7 million bonus — three years after Colorado had picked but not signed him as a high schooler.

Future Value: 40+, below average regular first baseman

Contract Status: 2019 1st Round, 40 Man Roster, three options remaining

Toglia entered 2022 coming off a year in which he had 46% of his plate appearances end in one of the Three True Outcomes (28% K, 13% BB, 4% HR).
