the Tribe’s steady strike-thrower with Friday-night upside
In the 2025 season, Boyd flashed real swing-and-miss stuff and big-game poise, highlighted by a complete-game shutout against Stony Brook and a 3-3 freshman year with 45 strikeouts in 53.2 innings. The appeal is the mix: he competes hard, has already shown he can work deep into games, and can miss bats without getting rattled. In 2026, his results have been more uneven, but the underlying profile still says durable right-hander with starter traits and a competitive edge that coaches love.
