2024 is in the books, how does it look for the 2025 draft? 
First Round - Number 8 Pick. Tigers - Xavier Neyens, 3B, Mount Vernon (Wash.) HS
"Neyens was one of the most impressive prospects at last summer’s Area Code Games and didn’t look out of place in terms of size or skills as an underclassman. A 6-foot-4, 205-pound lefthanded hitter and third baseman, Neyens possesses some of the best raw power in the class and earns 70-grade power projections in his prime. He’s a patient hitter who can handle the outer third of the plate and hammer balls to the opposite field, though his power comes with some contact questions. Neyens has plenty of arm strength for third base but could eventually wind up in a corner outfield position. He’s a legitimate two-way player who has been up to 93 mph on the mound, but his pro future is most exciting as a powerful lefthanded slugger."
