Unsigned Senior Spotlight: C West Neill

Very compact, short approach at the plate and has some strength in the hands and does a nice job with the lower half, showing 90 mph exit velocity off a tee. The swing is well synched and he does a nice job of keeping the barrel through the hitting zone. Creates some back spin from a tilted swing path and shows a mostly pull side approach. Behind the plate, the catch and throw skills are solid and he is fairly quick with the transfer. Throws stay on line to the bag and was consistently on the bag with a pop time as low as 2.05. Very quiet receiving pitches with nice flexibility in the hips showing solid receiving action on balls down in the zone. Seemed natural blocking balls in the dirt
