Neff was a four-year letter winner for the Juniata College baseball team as a pitcher and an outfielder. At the time of his induction into the Juniata Sports Hall of Fame, he was ranked among the career offensive leaders on College Hill in runs scored (2nd 118), triples (2nd 13), runs batted in (3rd 88), home runs (3rd 15), hits (5th 150), batting average (8th - .370) and doubles (8th 25). On the career pitching charts, he was tied for first in victories (23) and first in earned-run average (1.99), second in strikeouts (161), first in saves (18) and fourth in innings pitched (137.2). His career ERA ranked 12th among NCAA Division III competitors, at the time of his induction, while his save total ranked 14th in the NCAA Division III annals. Neff was 9-0 on the mound in 1991 (school record for wins in a season) and he had six saves that same year and 64 strikeouts (both school records). His earned-run average of 1.38 in 1991 ranks first in Juniata history. He helped lead Juniata to the 1991 Middle Atlantic Conference (MAC) championship and a 22-8 overall record. In 1990, Neff was a member of a unit that captured the MAC Northwest title and advanced to the NCAA Division III playoffs. Juniata also won the MAC North title in 1989 with Neff on the roster. He was a four-time MAC all-star, including appearances on the squad as an outfielder and a pitcher.
