North Alabama’s midweek innings-eater with swing-and-miss upside
In the 2026 season, Jake Boynar has been North Alabama’s go-to midweek right-hander, with season-high outings of 4.2 innings and 6 strikeouts against Tennessee Tech, plus a 3-inning, 5-K showing against Ole Miss. He’s the kind of arm you care about if you want competitive fire, strikeout flashes, and someone willing to take the ball in tough matchups—even if the early-season results have been rocky, with multiple losses and some traffic on the bases. For a team needing a gritty RHP who can miss bats and soak up innings, the tools are interesting; the command and run prevention are still the question marks.
