Oregon State senior Matt Boyd, a former hockey player and first baseman-outfielder, has developed into a top starter. He does some things right-handed, but pitches left-handed.
Kurt Boyd is responsible for Boyd, who is ambidextrous, throwing the baseball left-handed.
“I throw a football right-handed,” he says. “I eat and write right-handed. I bat left-handed and play hockey left-handed. Dad made me throw the baseball left-handed when I was about 5.
“If I really wanted to work at it, I’d like to think I could pitch right-handed. But it’s worked out pretty well the way it is.”
Casey says Boyd has big-league potential.
“Absolutely, whether as a starter or setup guy,” the OSU skipper says. “He is going to continue to get strength and develop. Four-pitch guys are hard to find. He touched 94, 95 (mph) at the Cape last year. The velocity is in there. He’s a guy who can pitch in the major leagues.”
