Head Coach Jack Leggett on Boyd: "Wilson started for us in right field last year, but he will probably move to left field. He is a solid hitter at the top of the lineup. He has developed into a really good defensive player. He's getting better every time he is out there and his confidence level is improving. I can see him being a very good player for us this spring, and we're excited about how well he has come along as a baseball player."
