History

Hyzdu attended Moeller High School in Cincinnati, where he broke Ken Griffey, Jr.'s home run record (22) and led his team to win the state championship in 1989.

Hyzdu was originally drafted by the San Francisco Giants in the first round of the by|1990 amateur draft, but never reached the Major Leagues as a Giant. Hyzdu is well-known for his accomplishments in the minor leagues. During his two seasons with the Altoona Curve, he broke many franchise records, many of which still stand today. He was an Eastern League all-star both seasons and had his number 16 retired by the club.

In a seven-season major league career, Hyzdu is a .229 hitter with 19 home runs and 61 RBI in 221 games.

With the Red Sox in 2004, Hyzdu batted .300 (3 for 10) with a home run, two RBI, and 2 doubles in 17 games. In 129 games with Pawtucket, he batted .301 with 29 home runs, 79 RBI, and led the team in walks with 84.

After the 2006 season, he joined the Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks of the Japanese Pacific League with a one-year contract. He batted .272 with 7 home runs in 47 games. After one season in Japan, he failed to get a contract extension and left the Hawks to be a free agent.
