He looked good at alternate camp and moved from shortstop to outfield in the instructional league in 2020.

Toglia, at 6 feet, 5 inches tall, weighing 226 pounds, profiles as the team\u2019s first baseman of the future and had 9 homers, 26 RBI and a .248 average in 145 at-bats at Boise in his first pro season, but his progress was stunted in 2020. The switch-hitter got individualized instruction at alternate camp after being named to the 60-man player pool but he really could have used a minor league season.
