"This kid just keeps on slugging!"
@astros 2025 first-rounder Xavier Neyens goes deep in his 5th consecutive series for Single-A @WoodpeckersNC, raising his OPS to .992:
Yeah so Xavier Neyens, after hitting one over the batters eye at 108 MPH, hit his 2nd HR of the game and Derek Datil didn’t even bother to look.
He’s already recorded EVs of over 116 MPH in his first pro season. Absurd power from a 19 year old.
Xavier Neyens has a 6-game hitting streak with @WoodpeckersNC.
Over that span, Neyens is slashing .364/.481/.591 with 4 stolen bases and 3 extra base hits.
The Braves are calling up No. 2 prospect JR Ritchie to start tomorrow against the Nationals. Ritchie ranks 71st overall on the most recent @BaseballAmerica Top 100 list.
