Neville has elite contact quality, posting a .512 xwOBAcon in 2024 to go with an elite launch angle profile. He does the bulk of his damage in the air and has relatively no variance in his batted ball spray. The power is strong, with a 97 mph average EV and a 111.2 mph max, grading as plus. He rarely chases and has consistently shown above-average swing decisions. An issue going back to his prep days has been whiffs, with a 32.3% whiff rate in 2024 presenting red flags. The K rate was high, but it’s a sweet LH stroke, a great athlete and defender, with power and solid swing decisions. He’ll need to show improvements this year, but all the traits are here.

Maddox Molony, a 6'2" 210-pound shortstop from the University of Oregon, has established himself as the Pacific Northwest's top position prospect after back-to-back impressive seasons that earned him freshman All-American honors. The right-handed hitter generates impressive bat speed from his strong, athletic frame with a 102.9 mph 90th percentile exit velocity and 20.0% barrel rate, producing consistent pull-side power that resulted in 15 home runs and 10 steals as a sophomore in 2025. Molony's approach is highlighted by above average strike-zone discipline and exceptional in-zone contact ability. His struggles with wood bats in the Cape Cod League raised some concerns about whether his hit tool will be enough to consistently access his power at the professional level. Defensively, Molony has the tools to remain at shortstop with average-or-better speed, solid range, reliable hands, and more than enough arm strength for the position, giving him significant value as a potential middle-infield bat with power. A strong junior campaign could vault Molony into first-round consideration as one of the draft's more polished college shortstops with legitimate offensive upside and defensive reliability at a premium position.

Hellman’s max EV this year is 116.5 mph with a 109.4 mph 90th percentile EV, 70 raw power. The issue here is that his launch angles are poor, which has suppressed his barrel rate to this point. Despite the launch inconsistencies, he’s posting a .441 wOBA and .522 wOBA on contact. His whiff and chase numbers both stand below 25%, with 15% in-zone whiffs. It’s a power threat 1B who comes without the typical hit tool pitfalls if it clicks.
