Neal hit great today, but we were facing right handed pitchers who were throwing 87 mph. Neal is going to have to prove it against elite pitching before I say he’s a lock for the every day lineup.

But Jay is super high on him so he may just continue to hit no matter who is pitching.

He’s high on him for a reason, Neal was a very high prospect in the 2022 draft. And he’s young for his class, he just turned 19 in the fall. Unreal upside.

There are a bunch of guys on this team who are fighting for spots and possible platooning but Neal is not one of them. He’s been scorching everything he’s seen this season and needs to be playing everyday.

I was impressed with neal last year even once conference play got going. Reminded me of josh smiths freshmen year. Alot of good swings and balls that almost dropped/left the yard. He also crushed homers against some elite arms last year. I think he’ll be a dude for us
