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.

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.
Round 4: Zach Ehrhard - OF, RH
@RotoClegg
Boston takes Zach Ehrhard at 115. OF from Oklahoma State.
Hit .331/.458/.627 with 14 HR & 25 2B tho year.
Elite contact profile:
87% contact/93% in-zone w/sub 20% chase
Respectable EVs: 90 mph average/104 mph 90th. Hits the ball at ideal angles.
Round 5: Brandon Clarke, LHP
6'4", 99mph, shaky command, secondary stuff needs work
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.
Dude is such a stud he’s going to get ranked twice
as a hitter and pitcher?
When you say it's gonna happen now
When exactly do you mean?
Whoopsiedoodle. Tole was going to be ranked after Rodriguez.
We knew what you meant, but you can't throw red meat at us like that and expect us not to joke about it.

Anyone even remotely interested in the Red Sox owes it to themselves to read The Athletics' Writeup on the Red Sox 2024 draft.
WAR is good for something.
