Michael Toglia has spent part of the past four seasons in the MLB with the Colorado Rockies. He has really struggled to hit in three of those seasons, posting OPS of .653, .507 and .611 in 2022, 2023 and 2025. But in 2024 he was solid, hitting .218/.311/.456 with 25 home runs in 116 games for the Rockies. And while I’m sure some of you thought so: 17 of his 25 home runs that year actually came in a way that feels like an impossibility, I double-checked the numbers.
Toglia, a switch hitter, has not performed better on one side of the plate than the other in his big league career. He hit .197/.282/.382 as a left-handed hitter and he hit .208/.267/.403 in his career as a right-handed hitter. He’s spent parts of the last four seasons in Triple-A and has hit very well there, including last season, where he hit .331/.401/.624 in 42 games with Albuquerque. Most of his time in the field has been spent at first base, but he does have some experience in the corner outfield. You can view Michael Toglia’s career statistics here.
Hagen Danner has also signed with the club. The 27-year-old has one game in the big league, pitching for the Toronto Blue Jays on August 11, 2023. He hit an out against the only batter he faced that day.
In 2025, the right-handed reliever spent the entire season in Triple-A with the Seattle Mariners organization. And from an ERA perspective, it was by far the worst season of his career. In 56.1 innings, he posted a 5.59 ERA while giving up 64 hits, nine home runs, walking a career-high 21 batters and striking out 54. You can view Hagen Danner’s career statistics here.
