Scouting grades: Fastball: 65 | Curveball: 60 | Slider: 70 | Control: 45 | Overall: 45
Like Kansas State teammate Kaelen Culpepper, Neighbors has rocketed from fairly anonymous recruit to likely pick in the early rounds of the 2024 Draft. Though he's purely a reliever, he's the best bullpen prospect in the class. He wasn't as sharp this year as he was as a sophomore and missed a month with an oblique strain, but he still has the stuff to eventually fill a high-leverage role in the Majors.
Neighbors has three pitches that miss bats at exceptionally high rates. His fastball operates at 94-96 mph and reaches 99 with cutting and riding action and exceptional induced vertical break. His mid-80s slider touches 91 mph and features two-plane depth and high spin rates, generating a 63 percent swing-and-miss rate this year, and he can turn it into an upper-80s cutter that also can be nasty. His low-80s curveball has big depth as well and gives him a plus third offering.
Neighbors reminds some scouts of Craig Kimbrel with his compact, muscular frame and high-energy delivery. He's fairly athletic and repeats his mechanics well, allowing him to provide a decent amount of strikes, though his fastball gets more hittable when he doesn't locate it at the top of the zone. A potential closer who thrives on pressure situations, he shouldn't require much development time in the Minors.
