Jack Neely

Draft Prospects

• Ranked #357 prospect in 2018 draft
  A colossal, 6-foot-9, 230-pound righthander out of San Antonio, Neely was a big-time basketball player growing up, but recently stepped away from the court to focus on baseball. The Texas commit pitched at a Prep Baseball Report event early this spring and impressed with a 90-93 mph fastball with a low spin rate and significant natural sinking action. There are rumors of Neely hitting 94-95 mph in bullpens in the fall, but scouts haven't seen him at that level this spring, where he's been mostly 87-91 and touched 93. His arm works well for his size, but there are some present strike throwing questions, as is to be expected from a prep pitcher with levers as long as his. Neely works hard at improving his craft, and could take massive steps forward at Texas. He also throws a curveball in the mid 70s and a mid 80s changeup.
