Neels is an interesting outfielder in the class, standing with an athletic frame at 6-foot-1, 175 pounds. Neels burned an event-best 6.72 60-yard dash to begin the day before putting together my favorite round of batting practice of the day. Setting up in a taller, pre-coiled stance - Neels gathers into a toe-tap early in the operation before making a positive forward move towards the baseball. The barrel gets perpendicular to the back shoudler at launch, creating connection in the upper-half, and he turns it on-plane early with lift at the front of the path. Neels was able to use the whole field & hinted pull-side gap power throughout his round, reaching a peak exit velocity of 93.2 mph. Indiana's 2027 class boasts plenty of talented left-handed hitting OF's - and Neels performance this past weekend puts him in the conversation with some of my early favorites in the class.
