Prep Baseball SPOTLIGHT VIDEO
Mark Neels
One of the more intriguing position players in the 2027 class, Neels began the day with a bang, turning in a 6.46 60-yard dash - still the best straight-line runner in the class to date. There is strength and big twitch in the 6-foot, 185 pound frame and those attributes translate to the box. The operation becomes more fluid each time I get eyes on him, using a hovering stride paired with a tight, compact load as he gets to his launch position. He turns the barrel tight with the ability to shrink the lead arm and deliver the barrel head when needed. He still lacks the ability to repeat at times, but when everything syncs, real bat speed is flashed. The 60-time indicates a potential future at a premium defensive position (CF) and his arm plays with average strength (83 OF).
