Scouting Report

2024

Video scouting report »

Scouting grades: Hit: 55 | Power: 55 | Run: 60 | Arm: 50 | Field: 45 | Overall: 60

After redshirting in his first year at Georgia Tech in 2022, Campbell became the Yellow Jackets' leadoff hitter last spring and batted .376/.484/.549. He created mixed opinions among scouts because his average raw power and plus speed didn't play that way in games, but Boston liked his hitting ability enough to take him in the supplemental fourth round. The Red Sox helped him add strength and bat speed while making some swing changes, and he has become one of the most productive hitters in the Minors in 2024.

Campbell excelled at making contact with his flat right-handed stroke at Georgia Tech but rarely drove balls in the air. Now he's taking more aggressive hacks and launching more balls in the air to his pull side, and he looks like he'll provide 25 or more homers per season. Though his new approach is leading to more strikeouts, he's still drawing a healthy amount of walks.

While Campbell is a plus runner, he's not much of a basestealer, lacks smooth infield instincts and isn't instinctive in the outfield. He has played more second base and shortstop than center field early in his first full pro career, though scouts think his funky throwing motion likely will push him off the dirt. He doesn't cover a lot of ground in center and may fit best in left, which would put more pressure on his bat.
