With baseball season past the halfway point, the Wildcats will look to gain momentum for a possible postseason bid in Omaha, Nebraska. One player they will need to rely on is shortstop transfer Louis Boyd.
The transfer student from North Vancouver, British Columbia, has helped the Wildcats baseball team accumulate a 23-14 record in his first year in Division I and is batting .234 with 18 hits and three triples so far this season.
The shortstop grew up idolizing New York Yankees player Derek Jeter for his even-keel demeanor and his reliability in any situation. Like Jeter, Boyd wants to be relied on for his confidence and ability to come through for his teammates.
