Neyens

OF/RHP Xavier Neyens’ (Mount Vernon HS, WA) rise inside this update is the biggest movement within this top-10. It’s easy to dream of his future as either a big left-handed stick or power arm because Neyens presents multiple carrying tools already, and he should have a strong chance of elevating his two-way skill set to new heights in the coming years. His present ability to stand out among fellow elite peers only adds to his allure and upside. The Oregon State recruit moves up to No. 7 in the class overall.

Neyens, an Oregon State recruit, built a strong case for being the top prospect in the 2025 class thanks to the elite impact tools that he displayed at the event. Standing out in uniform amongst his teammates with a 6-foot-2, 190-pound frame that oozes athleticism and upside, the left-handed hitting slugger put on a show in batting practice, showcasing the biggest raw power on the roster. The hands load deeper into a low arm bar before delivering electric bat speed with length through the zone. A home run to the deepest part of the park at an hour when no balls were leaving the yard garnered some murmurs from the onlooking scouts, and Neyens carried those aggressive, yet balanced, swings over to game play though he rarely saw a strike in his plate appearances. Adding to elite prospect status, the right-hander hopped on the mound and ran his fastball up to 94 mph with even more velocity likely on the way. There is feel for a breaking ball that could tick up in coming years, but the raw stuff gives him a chance to be special. The upside on both sides of the ball is immense, and Neyens will likely have scouts split on where his future ultimately takes him. Either way, that future is promising.

Perhaps the prospect with the loudest array of tools, that equate to large statistical outputs, on this list is INF/RHP Xavier Neyens (Mount Vernon; WA). The 6-foot-2, 180-pound Oregon State commit has an incredibly physical skill-set, one that has him penciled inside the top-15 prospects in the entire country for the 2025 class. Neyens posted a 98.1 mph max exit velocity with a 378 ft. peak batted distance at an October event this year, following it up with an 86 mph strike across the infield during his defensive evaluation. He hopped on the mound later that same day and ran his fastball up to 86 mph, too. We’re eager to see the physical and statistical improvements Neyens can make over the course of his prep career.
