2021 MLB Draft: Boissiere has hit since he set foot on campus in Tucson, making 2021 his best year yet with a .369/.451/.506 line, leading one of the country's best lineups in hitting. From a squat set-up in the batter’s box, he sets his foot down early, gets into his front side and rotates the barrel to the ball. He does come up a little as he swings, but he stays behind the ball and controls the zone. He spits on the pitcher’s pitch and crushes anything left out over the plate. It’s a rotational swing, but he stays through the ball and can drive it to all fields. At 6-foot-1, 200 pounds, he doesn’t scream plus power production that is needed for first baseman at the MLB level, and he would have more value if he could play adequate defense on either outfield corner. Despite his less than perfect profile, the Boss is a premium, low-risk college bat.
The MVP of the Frisco Classic, Boissiere raked from the opening bell. When the four game tourney had ended the left handed hitter was 9-for-17 with eight runs scored, five RBI, a double, a home run, and three walks over the course of the weekend. From a squat setup in the batter’s box he sets his foot down early, gets into his front side and rotates the barrel to the ball. He does come up a little as he swings, but he stays behind the ball and controls the zone. He spits on the pitcher’s pitch and crushes anything left out over the plate. It’s a rotational swing, but he stays through the ball and can drive it to all fields. He even tanked one 409’+ to dead center against Missouri during his first at-bat on Sunday. At 6-foot-1, 200 pounds he doesn’t scream plus power production that is needed for first baseman at the MLB level, and he would have more value if he could play adequate defense on either outfield corner. Ranked at No. 121 overall (back of the 5th round) in the college draft, this would be a little light from what I saw this past weekend in Frisco. Despite his less than perfect ML profile, the Boss is a premium college bat and is likely to move up around 20 spots in our next 2021 prospect ranking.
