Nov 2020 Report

Height: 6-5
Weight: 226 lbs
Hits/Throws: S/L
Acquired: 2019 Draft - Round 1
RuleV: 2022
Physical Description: High waisted and lean with a frame that has room to fill out. Tall at 6-foot-5, but proportional and athletic. Similar build to an NBA swingman.
Hit: A switch-hitter who's left-handed swing is farther along than his right-handed swing, but not far enough behind that he should scrap switch-hitting. From both sides of the plate, he has a quiet set-up with a toe-tap before he looks to make contact. He has an understanding of the strike zone but does a below average job recognizing pitches out of the hand. His ability to track spin is good. Draws his fair share of walks and rarely expands the strike zone, especially from the right side. A majority of his contact is grounders, which is less than ideal for a power hitting first baseman. His left-handed swing is more oriented towards hitting for power than his right-handed swing, which can be attributed to his bat-path being more choppy as opposed to the left-handed swing's bat-path being more conducive to line-drives and lofting the ball. Tends to keep things simple, will look to spray the ball up the middle with the occasional pull-side blast. Grade: 45
Power: He generates power from a good base, quick enough bat-speed, and average loft to his swing. He will show some opposite field power from his left-handed stroke but not as often as you may like. From the right, power is a bit harder to come by for him. He does as things stand hit more hard line-drives towards the pull side but he will hit some fly balls that will go out. He shows the requisite bat-speed that with some swing path adjustments could unlock even more power. Grade: 55
Field: Mostly a first baseman, he is an asset defensively there. He is athletic enough to play a corner outfield position. He moves well for a first baseman, athletic and fluid around the bag. He does a good job of holding runners on, and scoops the ball well. Sets an easy target for fielders to throw to get the out at first. He is very skilled and can move left to right, good range for first base. Grade: 50
Arm: Like previously mentioned he can go out and play a corner outfield spot, and he has the arm to do so. In college he would show an accurate arm that had good carry. His arm could be helpful in the infield as a cut-off guy. Grade: 50
Run: He isn't a great runner. He gets out of the box well but underway his gait is clunky, looks to be landing more with his mid foot as opposed to being on his toes. He gets down the line just fine but as he fills out he will lose some of that agility, which admittedly is just fine. Grade: 45
Overall: Toglia has what it takes to be a good solid major league first baseman. He combines an above average glove with some feel for power from the left side. He can cameo as a corner-outfielder but that probably won't happen too often. He needs to work on his right-handed swing in order to continue switch-hitting at the higher levels of the minors. An average regular at first base with some platoon concerns versus left-handers.
