Primarily a reliever for the Cavaliers over his four years in Charlottesville, Neeck was one of UVA’s top backend bullpen arms. His most notable performance as a Cavaliers came in the 2021 NCAA Columbia Regional where he struck out a UVA postseason record 16 batters over 5.2 innings pitched against top-seeded Old Dominion. It was part of a combined 24-strikeout performance by Neeck and starter Griff McGarry, the third most ever in a nine-inning NCAA game and most by any team since 1994.
Neeck was UVA’s opening day starter in 2022 and won two of his first three games before transitioning to the team’s closer role. Out of the bullpen he posted a 2.45 ERA with 32 strikeouts in 18.1 innings pitched. He recorded three saves, all in ACC play (North Carolina, Virginia Tech and Clemson) and all required five or more outs.
Neeck had 101 strikeouts in 67.2 career innings pitched in three seasons for the Cavaliers.
