Boeve impressed during the 2023 season thanks to his pure bat-to-ball skills—which are the standout tool in the Nebraska-Omaha infielder’s profile. Boeve hit .401/.512/.563 and struck out just nine times in 211 plate appearances; good for just a 4.3% strikeout rate. He also added four home runs, 15 doubles and went 6-for-6 in stolen bases. While the Summit League is competitive, scouts questioned how a dominant mid-major bat would translate to SEC arms or pro pitching, as the level of competition can be a bit more inconsistent. He managed to put some of those questions to rest after a strong turn in the Cape Cod League, where he managed an 83% contact rate and walked nearly as often as he struck out. While Boeve hasn’t shown much power, he does have a solid, 6-foot-3, 200-pound frame. At the moment he doesn’t lift the ball much, instead utilizing a level bat path and driving the ball into the gaps while using the entire field. Defensively, Boeve projects to be a solid-average third baseman with continued repetition and pro development. He doesn’t possess the quickest first step but has a reliable glove and enough arm strength to be a serviceable defender with the ability to contribute at first base and the corner outfield as well.

Organization Prospect Rankings

BA Grade/Risk: 50/High.

Track Record: Boeve posted a 4.2% strikeout rate as a junior at Nebraska-Omaha in 2023, when the Brewers drafted him in the second round and signed him for $1.25 million. Boeve dominated High-A Wisconsin for two weeks in 2024 before being bumped to Double-A Biloxi. His production slowed there, especially while playing through a right shoulder injury that sidelined him in July. He came back and hit well upon his return in August.

Scouting Report: Boeve is one of the purest hitters in the Brewers’ organization. He has a calm, quiet swing with a simple lower-half load and minimal hand movement, taking a short path to stay inside the ball. He rarely swings and misses, he’s consistently on the barrel and he doesn’t expand the strike zone much, making him a potential high on-base threat. How much game power Boeve can develop will be key. He makes hard contact—his exit velocities have been up to 111 mph—but his approach isn’t conducive to big slugging numbers. After hitting a lot of balls on the ground in college, Boeve cut his groundball rate significantly in 2024, but there still isn’t much loft in his swing and he doesn’t pull much in the air. Getting to more power will be important for Boeve, not just to maximize his offensive value, but because there’s risk he could end up at first base. He has an average arm and should get a chance to continue developing at third base, but he’s an offensive-minded player with below-average speed and quickness.

The Future: Boeve hits the ball hard enough that he could grow into 20-plus home run power if he’s able to make the right approach adjustments, which could make him an everyday regular if he’s able to handle third base. Triple-A Nashville is up next.

Scouting Grades Hit: 60 | Power: 45 | Run: 40 | Fielding: 40 | Arm: 50
BA Grade: 45/High

Track Record: As a junior at nebraska-Omaha in 2023, Boeve struck out just nine times in 211 plate appearances as he hit .401/.512/.563, an OBP that ranked 14th in the nation. The Brewers drafted him in the second round that year and signed him for $1.25 million.

Scouting Report: Boeve has a strong frame with a thick lower half, though it’s his contact skills that stand out more than his power. He loads with a small toe tap, has little movement in his swing with a short path to the ball. Boeve has a good sense of the strike zone and doesn’t miss much, with the hand-eye coordination and approach to spread the ball around the field. Boeve makes hard contact, though his bat path results in more ground balls and low line drives than loft, so he doesn’t project to hit for big power without a swing adjustment. An offensive-minded player, Boeve is primarily a third baseman, though he played more second base after signing while 2023 first-round pick Brock Wilken got most of the reps at third. He’s a below-average runner whose lack of first-step quickness limits him. Some scouts think he could end up in an outfield corner or at first base, while others think his defensive actions and average arm will be enough to be a fringe-average defender at third.

The Future: If Boeve can continue to progress defensively and tap into more game power, he has the upside to develop into an everyday third baseman. High-A Wisconsin is likely his next stop.
