Neto is leading off and playing shortstop against the Red Sox on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Neto will hit at the top of the lineup in just his second career MLB game after being called up by the Angels on Saturday. The 22-year-old went hitless in his debut, but the 2022 first-round pick tore up Double-A pitching and has a skill set that suggests the potential for immediate fantasy contributions even if there are ups and downs in the early part of his career.

Neto had his contract selected by the Angels on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Neto will replace David Fletcher, who has been optioned out to Triple-A after a brutal start to the 2023 season. Neto entered the year as a consensus top-100 prospect and was slashing .444/.559/.815 with three home runs and three stolen bases through seven games at Double-A Rocket City. He will start at shortstop and bat eighth in his MLB debut Saturday afternoon against the Red Sox. It appears that the 22-year-old is going to get regular playing time in the Angels' infield as he makes the jump all the way to the majors. He was the 13th overall pick in the 2022 first-year player draft and is the first player from that class to reach the big leagues.

The Angels reassigned Neto to minor-league camp Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

The 2022 first-round draft selection quickly rose to Double-A ball in 2022, slashing .320/.382/.492 over 136 plate appearances. Neto will likely return to Double-A to start the 2023 campaign, and at his current pace, he could find himself in Triple-A before the end of the season.

Neto was invited to the major-league side of Angels camp this spring.

EDGE Analysis

Neto went 13th overall in the 2022 first-year player draft and quickly made the jump to Double-A Rocket City while posting an overall .299/.371/.473 batting line with five home runs and five stolen bases across his first 37 professional games. The 22-year-old top shortstop prospect probably won't be a factor at the MLB level in 2023, but he's on a sharp upward trajectory.

Neto hit .320/.382/.492 down the stretch for Double-A Rocket City, smashing four home runs and stealing four bases while posting an 8:29 BB:K in 30 games.

EDGE Analysis

His season actually isn't over, as the Trash Pandas are in the playoffs and Neto has continued raking, having ripped two doubles and a homer in the first three postseason games of his professional career. Considering that he's already playing -- and succeeding -- in Double-A in his draft season, it looks like the 21-year-old shortstop is on a fast track to the majors.

Neto was promoted to Double-A Rocket City on Tuesday and is slashing .429/.467/.500 with five RBI through three games with the club.

EDGE Analysis

Neto hit only .192 in 26 at-bats in High-A ball, but he logged a respectable 4:6 BB:K and notched a home run and a triple. That was enough for the organization to move him up to Double-A, and the decision has looked smart thus far. Neto was selected by the Angels with the 13th overall pick in the first-year player draft this July.
