Scouting Report: The draft' biggest enigma, Neighborgall shows first-round
stuff and not-drafted stuff, sometimes in the same inning. Neighborgall(advised
by Scott Boras) was looking for a Josh Beckett deal ($7 million) coming out of
high school. Three years later, he has gotten limited work at Georgia Tech, and
he has more career walks (110) than innings pitched (101). Neighborgall has an
amazing arm with as much arm strength as any pitcher in the world. His fastball
has broken 100 mph in one-inning stints in the Cape Cod League. This spring, he
was at 95-97 mph at his best with an upper-80s slider with two-plane depth, and
his changeup earns praise from scouts, who consider it an above-average pitch.
The obvious problem is command. Clearly part of his problem is mental; he lacks
confidence, particularly after an ugly start at Miami in a 20-1 loss. His
mechanics are shot, as he flies open with his front shoulder, short-circuits
the long arc of his arm and lands awkwardly, pushing himself away from home
plate. Neighborgall's ceiling is higher than that of any pitcher in the draft,
but his likelihood of reaching his ceiling is perhaps lower than any pitcher's.
The Boras relationship complicates matters when trying to figure out where he's
selected; he's expected to go anywhere from the sandwich round.
