An offensive-inclined backstop out of Mill Creek High in Hoschton, Ga., Boychuk stands out for his consistent hitting ability. While he didn’t have the best performance last summer during the PDP League, scouts who know him well have commented that he regularly performs at a high level with the bat and noted that he improved on the offensive side of the game this spring. He got bigger and stronger over the offseason, and now has plus bat speed with a chance to get to solid-average power. Boychuk has a balanced, righthanded swing and could be an average hitter. While he trended in the right direction on the offensive side of the ball, his defensive game went the opposite direction this spring. While Boychuk does have above-average arm, he’s noisy behind the plate and doesn’t look like a big-league defender just yet. Boychuk is competing against a deep prep catching class in a shorter draft this year, which could make it easier for him to make it to campus at South Carolina.
