Jack Neely, No. 47 in your program guide, was acquired by the Cubs last summer, along with Ben Cowles, for Mark Leiter Jr. He has a cool mustache and a good delivery, is 24 years old, and maybe has a future. He’s listed as 6’8” and 245 and blocks out the sun.

He didn’t start things out right, but it got better from there. Neely pitched six innings in all, in 2024 in the Majors, a very small sample size.
