Neto first jumped on the radar as a sophomore at Campbell University in 2021, hitting over .400 and earning Big South Conference Player of the Year honors. He won the award again in 2022 thanks to a 1.283 OPS, after showing it worked with a wood bat against tougher competition in the Cape Cod League the summer prior. Belief in that bat, especially at his position, is a big reason why his name was popping up regularly in first-round conversations before he was eventually taken No. 13 overall by the Angels. Signed to a below-slot $3.5 million bonus, Neto looked like he might be a bargain by jumping on an early fast track and hitting .320 in 30 Double-A games during his pro debut.
Neto’s setup and mechanics at the plate, including a big leg kick and an uphill swing from the right side, might not be what coaches would teach young hitters, but he’s made it work as he relies on tremendous hand-eye coordination to make consistent hard contact. He doesn’t strike out a ton, while his bat speed and ability to loft the baseball point to solid power, especially to his pull side.
Just an average runner, Neto’s aggressiveness makes him an asset on the basepaths. His quick feet and hands, when combined with solid arm -- he was in the low 90s as a reliever at Campbell -- and instincts, give him a good chance to stick at shortstop, though he’s seen time all around the infield and could find a home as a second baseman who hits his way to the big leagues in a hurry.
