Scouting report
The Driveline Baseball program is adept at making pitchers throw harder, but not necessarily throw strikes, so it was perhaps an odd fit for the Reds to draft Boyle, who already throws really hard but struggles to locate at all. Boyle's fastball routinely exceeds 100 mph but he was unusably wild early in his Notre Dame career and had more walks than innings pitched all three years there. He certainly has big league relief potential, but again the thing he needs to do better is not what the new Reds dev group made its name doing. (At-home dev)
