2025 Player Outlook
Once he returned from injury, Boyd was fantastic for Cleveland in 2024, posting a 2.72 ERA, 27.7 K%, and 1.13 WHIP across eight starts. Increased usage of his changeup allowed that pitch to flourish, posting a 35.2 percent whiff rate, and a measly 84.3 mph average exit velocity. Albeit a small sample size, his ground ball rate diminished greatly last season, and more fly balls could become disastrous in the Windy City. He figures to be a back-end starter in this team's rotation, but keep in mind that elbow surgery caused him to get a late start on the 2024 season, and he hasn't pitched more than 100 innings since 2019. More of an NL-only target than mixed league option.
