Touki Toussaint

Dany Gilbert Kiti "Touki" Toussaint (/ˈtuːki tuˈsɑːnt/; born June 20, 1996) is an American professional baseball pitcher who is a free agent.

[20] Toussaint began the 2015 season at extended spring training, then joined the Kane County Cougars in May.

[21] On June 20, 2015, the Diamondbacks traded Touissant to the Atlanta Braves along with Bronson Arroyo for Phil Gosselin.

The rocky season was attributed to the Diamondbacks' request Toussaint cut down on the use of his curveball, shortly after his debut with Kane County, as the team felt becoming excessively reliant on the pitch early in his career would lead to injury.

[21] Not throwing his curveball gave Toussaint time to improve his changeup, which became a viable third pitch over the course of the season.

[29][30] Toussaint started the 2018 season in Mississippi, recording a 2.93 ERA with 107 strikeouts until a midseason promotion to the Gwinnett Stripers.

[31][32] Toussaint faced the Norfolk Tides in his first International League game on July 5, 2018, pitching 6+2⁄3 innings while yielding one run on five hits.

[35] He made his MLB debut the same day with a start against the Miami Marlins, yielding one run on two hits in six innings pitched.

[36] Toussaint spent time at spring training prior to the start of the 2019 season, and began the year at Gwinnett.

[46][47] Toussaint appeared in eight major league games for the Angels, including two starts with a 1–1 record and a 4.62 ERA.

On November 15, Toussaint was designated for assignment by the Angels after they protected multiple prospects from the Rule 5 draft.

Toussaint was designated for assignment by Chicago on March 24, 2024,[57] He cleared waivers and was sent outright to the Triple–A Charlotte Knights two days later.
