Oregon centerfielder Mason Neville has been an enormous breakout star in 2025 and has positioned himself as a potential top-two round pick in July. Some scouts have first round grades on the Duck.
It hasn't always been this easy for Neville. A native of Henderson, Nevada, Neville attended Basic High School where he was a highly touted prospect. He ranked as my No. 112 prospect in the 2022 Draft right behind Chandler Simpson, Caden Dana and Alan Roden; three big leaugers with favorable future outlooks. Neville was selected by the Cincinnati Reds in the 18th round (No. 543 overall) of the 2022 MLB Draft but chose to pursue college baseball. After initially commiting to the University of Arizona, he switched to Arkansas after Arizona’s coach Jay Johnson left for LSU.
