Louis Boyd didn’t put up huge numbers during his two seasons with the Arizona Wildcats, though the middle infielder was a key part of the 2016 College World Series team as a junior.
The Seattle Mariners saw something in Boyd, taking him in the 24th round of the 2017 MLB Draft, but apparently that wasn’t just as a player.
The 25-year-old Boyd was named manager of the Everett (Wash.) AquaSox on Tuesday, tabbed with leading the Mariners’ Short-season Class-A team in the Northwest League for the remainder of the season.
