Matthew Boyd is a 2023 fantasy baseball draft sleeper at SP, and is an ADP draft value. Target Boyd as an undervalued SP in fantasy baseball drafts.
BALLER MOVE: Draft target ~pick 375
CURRENT ADP: ~395 overall
ANALYSIS: It's been a turbulent couple of years for Boyd. He threw just 78.2 innings in 2021 and 13.1 last year all due to injury. He appears to be healthy again and has a job in the Tigers rotation, and he's looked really great this spring with 21 strikeouts and three walks in 13 innings.
The biggest positive about Boyd is that we saw really encouraging things from him in the past. In 2019, he racked up a 30.2% K% with a 6.1% BB% across 185 innings. That's tough to do, and it shows us a player that is capable of really good things.
He has a home run issue (career 1.6 HR/9), and that will likely still be an issue this year, especially with the Tigers moving in some of the fences there. All of this said, Boyd is pretty much free in drafts and he seems like a guy who can give your team some extra strikeouts at the very least.
