Xavier Neyens

Draft Prospects

• Ranked #7 prospect in 2025 draft
  School: Mount Vernon (Wash.) HS. Committed: Oregon State. Age At Draft: 18.7
  
  Neyens is a strong, physical slugger with some of the best raw power in the 2025 class. His lefthanded swing has leverage to lift the ball to all fields and he packs a huge punch when he connects. He flashes plus raw power now, with bat speed and strength projection still to come with his 6-foot-4 frame—enough that he could have 70 power in his prime. He has good balance, lets the ball travel and can hammer pitches on the outer third with impact the opposite way. Neyens’ power does come with swing-and-miss, with some vulnerability against offspeed stuff, but he’s also a patient hitter who will take his walks to help him get on base. A tick below-average runner, Neyens is a third baseman with a strong arm and good hands. At his size, there’s some risk he could outgrow the position and head to an outfield corner, but he has done a good job with his conditioning and agility and has a good chance to stick at third base. While Neyens’ future as a hitter is most exciting, he’s a two-way player who has been up to 93 mph on the mound and got a lot of swing-and-miss last summer on his slider.
