Widely regarded as one of the best young executives in baseball, Toboni brings a fresh voice to the organization, providing valuable experience in scouting and player development to build around the Nationals’ talented core of young star players.

Toboni came to the Nationals from the Boston Red Sox, where he most recently held the title of senior vice pres¬ident, assistant general manager. In his time with Boston, Toboni oversaw player development at the Major and Minor League levels as well as the MLB First-Year Player Draft and was one of the key voices in the organization’s larger baseball operations strategy.

Toboni is credited with modernizing Boston’s draft and player development process, integrating traditional scouting and coaching with data-informed decision-making. From 2022-23, he served as the Club’s vice president of amateur scouting and player development, during which time he oversaw the selection and development of Roman Anthony, Marcelo Mayer and other top prospects. During his time in Boston, Toboni led the Red Sox’s farm system from being ranked 30th to first overall by Baseball America and MLB Executives.
