Michael Toglia finds himself at a crossroads

Since team icon Todd Helton ended his Hall of Fame career in 2013, first base had become quite the revolving door for the Colorado Rockies. Veteran stopgaps, rookie hopefuls, and a few decidedly not-first-a-baseman players all manned the position with varying degrees of success. However, none were truly a successor to Helton, and Andrés Galarraga before him.

The Colorado Rockies entered the 2025 season believing they might have finally found their first baseman.

Despite a brutal slump to kick off the 2024 season that saw him optioned to Triple-A Albuquerque, 2019 first-round pick Michael Toglia emerged triumphant on the other side.
