Can't find too much on him.

College Bio (http://gobearcats.cstv.com/sports/m-basebl/mtt/french_neall00.html) He is out of the University of Cincinnatti.

He's older at 24 years old. Looks like he was at a JUCO for 2 years and was at Cincy for 3.

Was drafted in the 38th round at one point as a D&F.

First year at Cincy he didn't put up very good #'s but his senior season looks impressive.

Looks like he had signed with the Florence Freedom of the Frontier League in January.

Yea not much but i did see a blip where he was clocked behind the plate throwing 87 mph so he must have a good arm.
