Hitting
One of the nice things about Neil is that he's a real clutch hitter. Piland always has been a line-drive hitter who uses the entire field. He hits righthanders and lefthanders with equal consistency.
Baserunning & Defense
His defense is solid but unspectacular. His arm is accurate enough. Piland doesn't have great speed, though he reads righthanders' moves well enough to steal a couple bases each season without getting caught very often.
2025 Outlook
The Lethbridge Typhoon signed him to a long-term contract, but don't think they won't drop Piland like a hot potato if something better comes along.
