Michael Toglia Smacks Grand Slam WednesdayApril 16, 2025 | 11:05 PM

Colorado Rockies first baseman Michael Toglia finally got the monkey off his back on Wednesday, hitting his first homer of the season in an 8-7 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers. Toglia did it in dramatic fashion, too, smacking a grand slam to pull the Rockies within one run in the third inning. Unfortunately for the 26-year-old, that is about the only thing that has gone right for him this season. He is hitting .172 with a .475 OPS and has struck out an abysmal 32 times in just 64 at-bats. Yup, he's striking out 50% of the time. He even struck out three times in this game. He was a fairly popular sleeper in drafts this season, but at this point it might be time to move on, at least until he shows some signs of life for more than one at-bat.
