One of the heroes of the night for the Cowboys in their walk off win of Marcus was Boylan. He came in the 6th inning and ended up going 7 innings of shutout baseball. His fastball was 85-87 T88 and he threw it mostly glove side. Both of his secondary pitches were working as well. He throws a curveball in the low 70’s that has some serious depth. He commanded it well all night. He also used a much improved low 80’s change up to handle the high powered lefties in Marcus’s lineup. Boylan remains uncommitted, but somebody will be getting a steal.
