WTM’s PLAYER PROFILE |
| The Pirates signed Toledo as a good defender who should be able to stay at short. He’ll need to get stronger to hit better. His speed is about average.
2020 2021 In his debut season, Toledo mostly played short, but spent a little time at second and third. At the plate, he got on base a lot thanks to a very high walk rate. Oddly, his stats were nearly identical to Enmanuel Terrero’s. 2022 In the FCL, Toledo continued to show good strike zone judgment, but he didn’t hit much. He went in the wrong direction over the course of the season, with a .769 OPS in June and .527 in July. He got into only three games after the start of August. On defense, he spent most of his time in the middle infield. Usually playing alongside Jesus Castillo and Luis Rivas, Toledo gave the FCL Pirates a good infield to watch. Of the three, though, he did the least at the plate. Toledo needs to start hitting with more authority. He wasn’t on a full-season roster when the 2023 season started. |
