Jeremiah Boyd Calls It a Career | Phoenix News

Jeremiah Boyd, the 26-year-old catcher who spent his brief MLB journey with the Arizona Diamondbacks, is calling it quits on his playing career — and may be stepping into coaching. Drafted by Boston in 2018, Boyd only appeared in a handful of games this season after being sent to Triple-A Reno. Now, his social media bio reads “former D-backs,” and whispers suggest he’s landed an assistant coaching role at Vanderbilt, focusing on catchers. Though never a top prospect, Boyd offered depth behind the plate for Arizona, appearing in 47 minor league games and bouncing on/off the development list five times. His offensive stats weren’t flashy — just .218 with a few homers — but with veterans like Gabriel Moreno and James McCann already anchoring the majors, there was little need for him to stick around. As his playing days fade, Boyd’s transition into coaching signals a new chapter — and a common, inspiring path for athletes after their time on the field.
