Xavier Neyens – SS

HT/WT: 6’4/205 | Bat/Throw: L/R | School: Mount Vernon (WA) | DOB: 10/29/06

Overview:

Neyens was selected by the Astros in the first round of the 2025 MLB Draft and signed for $4.12 million—the organization’s largest bonus since Alex Bregman received $5.9 million in 2015. A left-handed hitter out of Mount Vernon High School in Washington, Neyens boasts some of the most impressive raw power in the 2025 draft class.

While he has a strong arm suited for a corner infield or outfield spot, it’s his powerful bat and advanced hitting ability that made him a top pick. Standing 6’4″ and weighing 210 pounds, Neyens projects as a formidable middle-of-the-order presence. He’s the first high school position played selected by the Astros in the first round since Tucker in 2015. He was drafted as a shortstop and I’m sure he will get every chance to play there.

Just Baseball had the following to say about his power: “The power itself grades out as plus with natural loft and loud bat speed, playing to all fields. He creates a tight coil with his core during his load, allowing his body to rotate rapidly and allowing his hands to explode through the zone. Against premier pitching, he’s already tattooed baseballs at 110 MPH. It’s loud.”
