Top CRL Pitcher Announced Monday, September 13th, 1982
Carolina League hitters didn't have much of a chance in the 1982 season when the Peninsula manager wrote "Oil Can Boyd" on the lineup card. Outing after outing, he held teams in check and usually got a win.
He excelled with a 14-8 mark and 3.01 ERA in 24 starts, tossed 206.1 innings, fanned 159 and held opposing teams to a .234 average.
For his superb season Boyd was today named the CRL Pitcher of the Year Award winner.
