2018 Pitcher/Catcher Showcase
Samuel Boyce is a 2019 RHP/C/1B with a 6-0 215 lb. frame from Grafton, WI who is home schooled. Strong and physical build. Primary right handed pitcher working from the stretch. Starts very closed but lands in line with the plate, getting over front foot. Throws from a high three quarters arm slot with some tilt and average arm speed. Fastball was relatively straight but showed some downhill plane on occasion. Fastball in the upper 70's and topped out at 81 miles per hour. Some inconsistency with release point causes command issues. Has better feel for the 12/6 curveball with decent depth and good spin. Also flashed a short lateral slider. Right handed hitter with a spread and slightly open stance. Has a high back elbow set with a big leg lift trigger. Hands go back at load and a rotational lower half. Looser path to contact with an elevated plane. Uses strength well when driving the ball to the middle of field, but has the ability to hit to all fields. Really looks to drive the ball with a hard swing.
