The Red Sox have selected Neely with the 86th overall pick in the 2024 First-Year Player Draft.
Analysis
Neely has pitched primarily in relief during his collegiate career with Florida, and that's also been his most effective role. With his fastball typically sitting around 93 mph and without a dominant secondary offering, Neely doesn't currently have the profile of a high-leverage reliever in the majors.
