Scouting Report

7/5/18 Defensively, actions are athletic with solid range and quick confident hands present. Boyce works well to and through the ball. He funnels from bottom up and out front. Throwing motion is quick and transfer is clean. 71 mph arm strength across the diamond may precipitate a move to the right side of the infield.

Offensively, the 5-foot-11 175 pound, right-handed hitter initiates swing from narrow, neutral set up with subtle knee to knee leg kick and stride to neutral.Weight shift is passive followed by an aggressive hip turn. Bat path is flat and there is considerable length. An exit velocity of 84 mph was recorded.

 

7/12/17 5-foot-11, 155-pound right-handed hitters swing is initiated from neutral, narrow base with short stride. There is good balance and Boyce stays behind baseball.  Back elbow drift in front of front of hands results in bat drag.  Boyce would benefit from connecting directly with back elbow and being more aggressive in weight shift.

Demonstrates adequate hands with clean transfer.  Would benefit from playing through and attacking to create better angles and hops.  In outfield showed commitment to getting behind baseball would benefit from being more decisive in reads and avoiding drifting to spot.
