08/11/2008 - College PREP - San Diego, CA Boyd will instantly pass the sight check test for college recruiters. He has above average tools in all areas and has youth on his side, giving him a high ceiling. At the plate, Boyd looks to use the whole field and shows strong wrists in his swing. He shows fence power to all fields and will certainly develop into a power hitter. He'll benefit from initiating his hips into his swing and his contact will also increase by learning better balance, perhaps from a slightly wider stance. At first base, Boyd displays athletic movements to his left and right. His range will improve with some pre-pitch movement. He does many things well on the field, beginning with staying down on ground balls and showing a good backhand. And ending with a good carry and life on his throws. Overall, Boyd has some time to add polish to his raw ability, making him a coveted college first baseman.
