A wiry 5-foot-11, 155-pounder with twitch. He sets up balanced with a well-paced load, and the swing works short and is contact-oriented. Exit velocity peaked at 90.1 mph, averaging 83.8 throughout the round. Projects as a top-of-the-order, catalyst type. Showed best on the dirt with athletic feet and lateral quickness. The arm has been up to 90 mph across the diamond and has also touched 88 mph on the mound. An athletic follow.

Boston Roberts is a 2027 RHP/SS with a wiry 5-foot-11, 157-pound frame and twitchy athleticism that jumps out in both his delivery and position play. On the mound, Roberts is a raw, athletic mover with a short, compact, and quick arm that generates a fastball at 83–85 mph (T85) with sneaky life and spin up to 2109 rpm. He tunnels a sharp 75–77 mph breaking ball with tight shape (T2254 rpm) and a cutter-like 78–79 mph slider. At the plate, the right-handed hitter shows a short, athletic swing and reached a 90 mph max exit velocity with a 334’ peak distance. Defensively, he’s a quick-footed infielder with an 84 mph arm across. Plenty of room to fill out physically, and the twitch + athletic tools give him upside.
