Mitchell Tolman: The Lynchpin in West Virginia’s Success

CHARLESTON, WV - He's not a flashy prospect like Ke'Bryan Hayes, or a toolsy outfielder like Tito Polo, or even a bruiser like Carlos Munoz, but Mitchell Tolman might be the most important player to suit up for the West Virginia Power this season. It's easy to overlook the 5' 11" second baseman, but one glance at his accomplishments and statistics in his professional career reveals just how talented this utility man is.

Drafted in the seventh round in 2015 as a third baseman out of the University of Oregon, Tolman immediately made an impact with the West Virginia Black Bears (Morgantown).
