2024 Prospects

[mvp 78]

@EdHand89
Notes on the Red Sox third round pick, RHP Brandon Neely.
-U of F Gator
-Fastball is his best pitch currently. Tops at 96-97 but mostly lives around 93 mph. Misses bats due to ride.
-Best secondary pitch is his slider, also throws a changeup + curveball.
-Worked mostly out of the pen in college but there are scouts who believe he has the pitch repertoire to be a backend starter.

On Neely:

@redsoxstats
In the post season last month, he threw 24 innings with 15 hits allowed, 5 walks, and 38 strikeouts.

92-94 T97, with yet again, lower release height and lots of ride and movement.

Boston takes Zach Ehrhard at 115. OF from Oklahoma State.

Round 5: Brandon Clarke, LHP

6'4", 99mph, shaky command, secondary stuff needs work

[mvp 78]

Round 6: Blake Aita, RHP

@ggeiss_mlb
Blake Aita some who has “stuff.”

Another big metric pitcher.

FB 89-91 t94 with his spin rates and armside run.

Low 80’s sweeper with 3000+ RPMs and massive horizontal break.

Mid 80’s cutter as well.

The command is something he’ll need to work on moving forward.
