The Colorado Rockies<\/a> Spring Training is already being tested with their debit. For a team who is looking to get out of the basement, a trio of Rockies are making quite the noise while<\/span> fighting for consistent play during the regular season. Two of these players could very well make the Rockies’ lineup in 2023 while the other could become a beneficial bench player. <\/span>\u00a0Not a single one of these players made the list of players that will be the keys to 2023 success<\/a>, but all are playing their way to be notable contributors to a rebuilding team in the new season.<\/p>\n

Through 41 at-bats, Toglia currently paces the team in several Spring Training categories: hits, at-bats, and walks. He’s also tied<\/span> for the team lead in doubles. He is currently 12-41 with two doubles and two home runs. <\/span>His slash line is currently sitting at .293\/.383\/.488, good for an OPS of .871. While not a large sample size, his stats are still impressive. Last year, the 24-year-old also played games in right field during his first season in the majors. This spring, he has made starts in left field to add versatility.<\/span><\/p>\n
