Zach Neto

Zach Neto backed up his 2024 breakout with another big season in 2025. The Angels shortstop made it back-to-back 20/20 seasons by recording 26 home runs and 26 stolen bases in just 128 games.

Zach Neto backed up his 2024 breakout with another big season in 2025. The Angels shortstop made it back-to-back 20/20 seasons by recording 26 home runs and 26 stolen bases in just 128 games.

Even having to deal with some soreness in season as a result, Neto still put up impressive numbers. And Neto's numbers could have been even better if he wasn't hit on the hand by a pitch in late August. Following the hit by pitch, Neto hit .194/.284/.444 over the next 20 games before he ended the season on the injured list. If it wasn't for the injuries, Neto may have had a 30/30 season in 2025.
