1/21/19 Body Type: 6-foot-1 165- pound prospect. Thin build with ability to still add muscle and strength. Swing Mechanics: Taller stance before getting into his leg kick movement with lower half. Hands show minimal back load before launch. Hit: Balanced stroke with downhill tendencies. Efficient swing in general that is a bit quicker than it is physical at this stage. Worked through a middle-away approach in BP, showing natural backspin abilities to the oppo gap. Power: 82 mph exit velocity. Line drive swinger with gap abilities. Offensive Projection: Multiple Roles. Run: 7.38 60-yard dash. Field: Quick feet with the ability to make plays on the move. Athleticism shows out there. Graded out as an above average defender in general. Throw: Showed 75 mph arm strength across the infield. Defensive Projection: TBD.

Body Type: 6-foot-1 165- pound prospect. Thin build with ability to still add muscle and strength.
Mechanical/Delivery Notes: Threw from a ¾ arm slot with a quick, clean arm action. Overall an athletic, dynamic delivery.
Fastball: 78-81 mph fastball was mostly true but did show a sinking action at times.
Curveball: 68-71 mph breaking ball showed a tumbling type action with average spin but did show decent depth at times.
Changeup: 71-72 mph changeup was pretty much true through the zone.
Pitchability: Athleticism in the delivery lends itself to Toopes being a strike thrower. Particularly with his fastball and breaking of which he has the best command for of his three pitches.
Role: With his present velocity and his breaking ball being the better of the two secondary offerings, Toopes projects as more of a bullpen arm.
