Rene Michael Tosoni (July 2, by|1986, Toronto, Ontario Canada) is an outfielder in the Minnesota Twins organization whom the Twins selected in the 36th-round of the by|2005 First-Year Player Draft. He is six feet tall and weighs 194 lbs. He bats left handed, yet plays his position righty.

Tosoni is currently assigned to the Twins' advanced A affiliate, the Fort Myers Miracle, with whom he batted .325 with one home run and 17 RBIs in the first half of the 2008 season-- helping his team capture the Florida State League first-half West Division title.

Along with teammates Robert Delaney, Brian Dinkelman, Jeff Manship, Wilson Ramos, Anthony Slama and Danny Valencia, Tosoni was selected to represent Fort Myers in the 2008 Florida State League All-Star game, however, a broken leg prevented him from attending. He was assigned to the Miracle's seven day disabled list, and did not play from May 16 until August 26.

For the season, Tosoni's average fell to an even .300 with his short return from the disabled list at the end of the season, however, his two run home run in the first inning was the deciding factor in the Miracle's 2-1 victory over the Dunedin Blue Jays in game one of the 2008 division playoffs.
