To succeed in the game of baseball, you need talent as well as a fervent belief in that talent. There's been no shortage of talented players that have shrank from the big stage and couldn't perform. To some degree, you have to be confident in your abilities to succeed in the major leagues. Fortunately, Houston Astros' first round pick Xavier Neyens is not lacking in such confidence.
In Neyens, the Astros saw a young player with tremendous raw power, a cannon for an arm, and as much upside at the plate as anyone in the 2025 MLB Draft.
