School: Georgia Tech Source: 4YR

Commit/Drafted: Never Drafted
Age At Draft: 21
After not playing during his true freshman season at Georgia Tech, Campbell tore up the Northwoods League in 2022. He hit .356 with 10 doubles, three triples, two home runs, 45 RBIs and 31 stolen bases across 58 games. While the 6-foot-3 infielder missed some time at the beginning of this season, he hit at a high level through 45 games and slashed .376/.484/.549 with four home runs, 16 doubles and a strong 13.4% walk rate to 7.8% strikeout rate. Campbell’s calling card is his elite contact rate. He posted a 90% overall contact rate this spring with a tremendous in-zone contact rate of 94%. Campbell crowds the plate and hits against a slightly closed off front side. He has plus hand speed that allows him to turn on pitches that sometimes look like they might hit him, and sprays the ball all over the yard. He is a plus runner and while it is yet to be seen where he fits best defensively, whether that be on the dirt or in the outfield, his profile is a bit similar to Georgia Tech’s 2022 slash-and-dash specialist Chandler Simpson. Campbell isn’t quite the runner Simpson is, and his power ceiling is certainly higher given his wiry frame, but he has some of the same defensive questions as Simpson did. Regardless, Campbell’s speed will help him succeed in an outfield spot if that is where an organization decides to use him. While Simpson went late in day one in 2022, Campbell should hear his name called somewhere in the middle of day two in 2023.
