In the first look at the outfielder this week he impressed in the box from the jump. The ability to work to all-fields has really stood out over the past calendar year with present bat speed and innate pitch recognition to match. With quiet, simple actions at the plate, Floyd stays extremely compact through the zone in a fluid LH stroke with quick hands and above-average feel for the barrel in a linear path. The incoming freshman would go 1-for-1 at the plate with a hard-hit single back up-the-middle and a walk to help the Jackets to a run-rule win on Saturday evening. The projection is clear to see for Floyd standing a wiry 6-foot-0, 160-pounds with strength to project upon. Joining the perennial powerhouse Pope next spring, Floyd has a chance to be a name to know in the class in due time.
