Colorado Rockies prospects: No. 7, Michael Toglia

7. Michael Toglia (437 points, 20 ballots)

Michael Toglia is a 23-year-old switch-hitter (lefty thrower) with power who should provide plus defense at first base and could maybe be a corner outfielder if needed, though the Rockies have yet to test out that utility in game action. The 6’5”, 226-pound slugger was picked 23rd overall by the Rockies 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.

Mid-season 2021 Rank: 4

High Ballot: 4

Mode Ballot: 7

Future Value: 40+, below average regular first baseman

Contract Status: 2019 1st Round, not Rule 5 Eligible, three options remaining

Toglia produced well in his professional debut in Short Season A in 2019 and was brought by the Rockies to the alternate site and fall instructs in 2020.
