Pitching
His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. He has an above-average changeup and the ability to throw from a variety of arm angles. The Retired or Inactive Players hope he can work on his control a little bit. Every once and a while one slips away from him and either ends up at the backstop or in the right field bleachers. He changes speeds well enough to keep righthanders from teeing off on him.
Defense & Hitting
He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. Boyter doesn't make much of an attempt to combat the running game. Basestealers ran at will last year. Boyter is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Boyter has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Boyter as a pinch-runner on occasion.
2025 Outlook
AA isn't the right place for Boyter. Expect the Retired or Inactive Players to send him down for some minor retooling. I just don't know if The Retired or Inactive Players are ever going to get what they expect out of him.
