Touki Toussaint Stats & Scouting Report College Baseball, MLB Draft, Prospects
Scouting Report: Below-average control has always been Toussaint's biggest hiccup. He has consistently struggled to locate his fastball. It's a quality pitch as it sits 93-97 mph and earns plus grades. He generally works his sinker down in the zone to his arm side, but to succeed he needs to be able to spot his four-seamer to his glove side. If Toussaint can develop even average control and command, he could dominate because of his plus curveball that has long been a weapon and a more recently developed plus split-changeup. He has steadily improved his control, but he still lands hard in his finish and struggles to maintain his direction to the plate. Toussaint is extremely athletic, so there is reason to believe that he can add the final refinements to reach his high ceiling.
The Future: Toussaint made big strides in 2018, and he could develop into a mid-rotation starter. His stuff would play up even more in the bullpen, which may be a useful short-term role for the Braves since they have a surplus of quality big league ready starting pitchers.
