B/R – 11-21-13 - B/R – 11-21-13 - 22. Texas Rangers: Touki Toussaint, RHP, Coral Springs
Christian HS (Fla.) - A well-known commodity in the scouting community, Touki
Toussaint has been on the radar for the last two seasons thanks to a fastball
that sits in the low-to-mid-90s and has bumped 97 in the past. The 6’3”,
185-pound right-hander’s curveball ranks as one of the best in the class, as he
throws the pitch in the low-70s with exceptional depth and a sharp, two-plane
break that induces whiffs. Toussaint is also one of the younger hurlers in the
2014 class, as he doesn’t turn 18 until after the June draft. http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1860341-2014-mlb-mock-draft-early-first-round-projections-for-all-30-teams/page/10

impressive .316 and ranked second in the Big Ten with 22 doubles, 57 RBI, 10
homeruns, 133 total bases and 39 walks. Travis earned a Second Team All-Big Ten

appearance in program history. Along the way the third baseman earned Most
Outstanding Player awards at both the Big Ten Tournament and the NCAA
Bloomington Regional. The Orland Park, Ill native attended Providence Catholic
where he was named the Illinois Player of the Year by the Chicago Tribune. The
powerful right-hander put up huge numbers as a senior batting .504 with 17

I love the Mets to get Touki,his curve ball is off the chartsd at 18years old and throws major heat too.
a little bit of a head case though
Dare I say he reminds me of Gooden.He has alot of upside too.But I don't want a headcase if those ideas are acurate.
well, he's young... and cocky... and highly protected by his mother.
Let's give him some time to grow up.
The raw talent it there but there is so much pitching talent in this draft in the first round, you don't have to go here if you don't want to
