    Joyce has been a steady offensive presence for the Eagles since his freshman season, when he was named the Mid-Eastern Atlantic Conference Rookie of the Year after hitting .344/.417/.513 with five home runs. The following year, Joyce became the first North Carolina Central player to be named MEAC Player of the Year and led the team in each triple slash category with a .358/.456/.542 line. His performance alone will get him drafted, as Joyce is an above-average runner, but scouts question what the hit tool will play like against better competition and think he’ll have to move to second base at the next level.
