Neely has been arguably the best or second-best player for the Gators during this run to the College World Series next to Jac Caglianone.

In this appearance, he threw 104 pitches and struck out a career-high 11 batters over five scoreless innings in relief.Being the steady workhorse he is, Neely chucked 131 pitches over two days against the Clemson Tigers to help push this squad to Omaha.He has struck out nine batters in just five innings, or 15 outs, over the first two games with six coming in Monday’s win over NC State.
