Michael Toglia Says He's An Everyday Player
13 seconds agoColorado Rockies switch-hitting first baseman Michael Toglia is preparing to be an everyday player in 2025 after he hit .218/.311/.456 with 25 home runs (one shy of the team lead), 55 RBI, 10 stolen bases and 62 runs scored in a career-high 116 games played in his third year in the big leagues. Toglia began the year going 5-for-47 (four homers) before being sent to the minors. The 26-year-old started the remaining 101 games (90 at first) after his June 6 recall. The former first-rounder out of UCLA had a 32.1% strikeout rate last year, but he also walked once per 11.8 plate appearances. Toglia should have plenty of opportunities in 2025, and MLB.com's Thomas Harding writes that he could pass Andres Galarraga's club record of 99 straight starts at first base. He probably won't help your batting average, but fantasy managers targeting power have to be intrigued by Toglia with regular playing time.
