    Few college players look as good in a uniform as Boggs, an excellent athlete who has made progress with the bat this season and moved into the first five rounds. Boggs lost his starting job for part of his sophomore season, when he struck out too much in an attempt to hit for more power. A switch-hitter who's better from the right side, he has shortened his stroke this year to get better plate coverage. While he was still swinging and missing a lot, he had raised his average while hitting for solid power. His tools, average across the board (his arm might be a tick above), compare in many ways to former Tech star Jay Payton. Boggs may be a tweener who ends up a fourth outfielder.
