Bio:
Height: 6-2
Weight: 190 lbs
Hits/Throws: R-R
Hometown: Seville, FL
School: Spruce Creek
A Florida commit and former high school teammate of 2020 first rounder Zac Veen. An athletic arm with butter-like mechanics, Neely repeats well and runs his fastball up to 94 mph with little effort. He mixes four pitches in his low-90s fastball, two breaking balls, a mid-70s curveball, and a low-80s slider, as well as changeup in the same velocity band as his slider. An arm that can shoot up the rankings with strong performances throughout the summer.

Brandon is an athletic RHP who shows as a top prospect on the diamond. On the mound, Brandon gathers over the rubber and separates his hands on time. He works with a loose arm and extends through his release, staying inline toward the plate. Brandon shows an electric four pitch mix with his fastball topping out at 94mph with good arm side run and sinking action. Slider sits from 79-84mph with sudden 10-4 break. Curveball sits from 74-76mph with sharp 11-5 break. Changeup sits from 83-84mph as he throws with deceptive arm speed. Brandon performed well during his outing, striking out four batters in two innings of work. Overall, Brandon is a talented prospect who will be among the top pitchers in his class.

Brandon Neely is a 2021 RHP/IF/OF with a 6-2 190 lb. frame from Seville, FL who attends Spruce Creek. Medium athletic build with some present strength and lots of room for more. Whippy arm stroke from an extended 3/4's arm slot, good athlete who repeats his mechanics well. Five-pitch mix he knows how to use. Goes 2-seam/4-seam with his fastball, sinking 2-seamer might be his best present pitch, works his fastball to both sides of the plate with an idea. Throws both a slider and curveball, slider is the tighter and sharper pitch at present but lands both for strikes well. Firm change up still developing. Mature pitcher in his approach but still has growing to do. Showed his arm strength well in infield drills with third base actions.
Brandon Neely – RHP: Very young, advanced for his age. Some projection left, flashes swing/miss stuff with secondaries. Plus arm speed. Fastball sits 90-93 T94 with sub 2,000 RPM giving him natural sink, command needs improvement at times but when he’s working his 2 seamer down, its nasty and tough to elevate. Slider shows tight spin, looks just like his FB, great tunneling when working outer half, very tough on RHH, and is his go to breaking ball. Flashes plus potential at its best but is an Above-Average (55). Curveball shows nice depth and big breaking action. The Changeup rounds out the 4 pitch mix, a (45) Grade Below-Average pitch, but the feel for spin, and arm speed to go with him projection give me reason to think it will be a future 50-55 offering.
