Grip Strgth (LH)
Grip strength is a measure of a players bat control and ability to transfer power and speed during impact, measured in pounds of force generated; collected with elbow bent at 90 degrees.
Grip Strgth (RH)
Grip strength is a measure of a players bat control and ability to transfer power and speed during impact, measured in pounds of force generated; collected with elbow bent at 90 degrees.
Boyd was very strong during his appearance on the Rising Stars platform in 2024 and now the rising Fr. at Ayala High School showed off his upward arrow profile with a good showing to kick off 2025. Wiry and lean at the present with a 5'9 140.4 lbs. frame the present toolset for Boyd will only continue to get better as he adds strength to his frame. Showing present 6.92 60 speed with 79 MPH INF arm velocity and 81 MPH OF arm velocity Boyd looks like an up the middle athletic defender. As well, his compact swing with quickness (20.6 MPH hand speed/68.8 MPH bat speed) produced consistent hard contact peaking at 93.4 MPH. It was a strong performance for one of the youngest players in attendance who has interesting future ceiling.
Positional Profile: SS
Body: 5-10, 150 pounds. Athletic frame with room to add strength.
Hit: RHH. Slightly open stance that evens out when he strides. Narrow base, stands tall through swing. 65.6 mph bat speed with 8g of rotational acceleration.
