Michael Toglia's most Todd Heltonesque second came at the highest point of the second inning Monday at Coors Field, on a ball that left Jace Peterson's bat the manner in which the entertaining vehicles leave the line at Bandimere.

While Toglia, the Rockies' new kid on the block first baseman, held Milwaukee's Kolten Wong at the pack, Wong's colleague Peterson terminated a two-out screamer — leave speed: 101 miles each hour — right at Toglia's noggin.

It was the sort of ball that sends 98% of the liberated world to reconstructive nose a medical procedure. Toglia followed the lines from the send off, did a pirouette and coolly cleared it out of the air, the manner in which a bullfighter clears his muleta.

"That was unadulterated response," the Rockies' first baseman said after Monday's 6-4 mishap. "That is possibly, you get it or you take it off the teeth."

With that, Toglia smiled. Each chiclet was perfect and represented.

"The most recent 24 hours, he hasn't had the opportunity to think," Toglia's sweetheart, Jenna Nastrini, let me know Monday as her buddy took warm-up swings at the on-deck circle in the lower part of the 6th.

"I think (Monday night) will be his most memorable snapshot of really processing it. Ideally, (we'll) get some food, get some rest and have a good time night game (Tuesday)."

Allow the youngster to get some rest before we begin contrasting him with Todd Helton, ya dig?

Rockies senior supervisor Bill Schmidt set the bar this previous March when he compared Toglia, the Rockies' first-balance pick of UCLA in 2109, to Helton, the chief first baseman in club history, the establishment's highest quality level.

"He ought to help you to remember someone," Schmidt told The Post's Patrick Saunders.

Assuming that Toglia's Coors Field debut was any harbinger, the bat's actually got far to go to get that someone specifically.

The 24-year-old drew a first-inning stroll to keep the line moving against Brewers starter Adrian Houser, assisting the hosts with setting up a 3-0 lead heading into the highest point of the second.

Results were blended from that point forward, as the switch-hitting Toglia, who hit fifth, grounded out to short in the third, struck out searching in the 6th, and flew out to profound directly in the highest point of the eighth as the potential tying run.

"Triple-A pitching, Double-A pitching, is entirely different than the major associations," supervisor Bud Black said of the youngster. "Furthermore, he's sorting that out.

"Be that as it may, he's being serious, which I preferred. He has great instincts."

Also, as a matter of fact, that equivalent head's been turning for a significant part of the most recent 10 days or somewhere in the vicinity. Nastrini said Toglia and his family figured they'd most likely completion the season at the Rockies' Triple-An offshoot in Albuquerque, where he was hitting everything in sight, so the hit up to the large club on Aug. 30 came as a cheerful shock. For everyone.

"It's been crazy. At the end of the day, every one of the nerves turned out in Atlanta (during his Aug. 30 introduction)," Nastrini reviewed. "We were crying. We were snickering. We were perspiring. It was simply mayhem that entire week."

Jenna, who lives in Southern California, got a little Front Range secret last week, as she arrived for a delay in DIA on the way to Atlanta. She flashed all over the concourses, attempting to no end to find Rockies stuff to bring to the Braves' Truist Field, before the second leg of her flight.

"I was sleepless," she giggled, "and was like, hollering at the individual in the air terminal, 'Do you can't stand baseball? For what reason are there no (Rockies souvenirs)?'"

Work Day was … more quiet.

"(Toglia) messaged me when I flew in (today), and he goes, 'I'm home.' So it's been bound to happen. He feels sure. He's so eager to come play here. He feels at ease here, being in the clubhouse and with all the staff."

However, the staff may be a little temperamental on certain subtleties. At the point when Toglia's profile initially showed up on the Coors Field scoreboard, it reported that he'd made his MLB debut on June 7, 2011. At the point when he was 12.

Obviously, the youngster wasn't the one in particular who might have utilized somewhat more rest heading into Monday.

"Give me an ordinary evening's (rest) to get to the night game (Tuesday) and we'll be prepared," said Toglia, who's hitting 6 for 24 (.250) in his most memorable taste of The Show. "We'll be prepared for this stretch."

Regardless of whether the newbie lost the game, he actually came out on top in the race. In the highest point of the 6th, with two outs and the Rockies down 6-3, the first baseman handled a rope up the line by means of the Brewers' Garrett Mitchell — Toglia's old UCLA colleague.

The running youngster beat his pal to the sack for the last out. On the off chance that you're asking why that is no joking matter, Mitchell was a cool 34-for-36 on taken bases over his last 132 small time games.

"Such an extremely long time of hustling one another," Toglia said with a chuckle. "So I surmise that implies I'm quicker."
