Player Outlook
The top pop-up prospect of 2024, Kristian Campbell slashed .329/.437/.551 with 20 home runs, 24 steals and a 20 percent strikeout rate in 115 games across the top three levels of the minor leagues. Selected with the No. 132 overall pick in 2023, Campbell signed for just under $500K and now he has a chance of winning a spot on the Opening Day roster in 2025. While Campbell received 25-plus starts at shortstop, center field and second base last year, it's pretty clear that second base is where he fits on this roster, where David Hamilton is the top incumbent and Vaughn Grissom also hopes to figure into things. Campbell has a much higher ceiling than Hamilton or Grissom and may not be a short-term downgrade, so it would make sense for the Red Sox to break camp with Campbell if they think he's ready, as he could net them a Prospect Promotion Incentive Pick. There aren't any obvious flaws with Campbell, although 2024 was his first year hitting for notable power -- he had a higher slugging percentage last year than he did at any stop as an amateur. If he looks like the same player in spring training, momentum will build in the redraft market, and he's already a locked in top-10 dynasty prospect.

  • Red Sox's Kristian Campbell: Preps with outfielders

    Rotowire
    Campbell worked with the outfielders during Friday's pregame work instead of the infielders, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports. Per the daily schedule posted in the locker room, Campbell was supposed to be working with infielders. This follows a recent trend of Campbell playing the outfield. He opened camp getting work at second base, but Campbell's last four starts have come in left field. This spring, he's played 21 innings in left field and 20 at second base. This shift to the outfield coincides with the possibility that Wilyer Abreu (illness) may not be ready for Opening Day. Boston manager Alex Cora initially said Campbell getting reps in the outfield was a way to give at-bats to all the players competing for second base, but the coach later added context. "I think actually with everything that is going on, him getting reps in the outfield helps," Cora said. Another prospect, Roman Anthony, is expected to resume baseball activities Saturday following an illness, and he might be the more logical replacement for Abreu.

  • Red Sox's Kristian Campbell: Starts coming in LF

    Rotowire
    Campbell is starting in left field Tuesday for the third time this spring, compared to one start at second base, Joe Weil of WEEI reports. Campbell's defense at the keystone is arguably the worst part of his game, and it's noteworthy that the Red Sox seem to be playing him at an easier position (left field) rather than giving him more game reps at second base. Vaughn Grissom has made six starts at second base, while David Hamilton has made three starts and Alex Bregman has yet to feature at the keystone this spring. Campbell's clearest path to playing time would be at second base, as the Red Sox already have a crowded outfield, and prospect Roman Anthony would likely get the nod over Campbell if Boston turned to a top prospect to take on a prominent outfield role. Campbell got his first hit of the spring Monday and is hitting .071 with nine strikeouts and two walks in 16 Grapefruit League plate appearances.

  • Red Sox's Kristian Campbell: Starts at second Friday

    Rotowire
    Campbell started at second base and went 0-for-3 in Friday's spring game against Northeastern University. Campbell was one of several prospects and minors leaguers dotting Boston's lineup in the team's traditional spring kickoff against the Huskies. He's competing for a starting job at second base, but the Alex Bregman acquisition could influence the decision regarding the starter at the keystone. If Bregman plays third base, then Campbell has a real shot; if Rafael Devers stays at third base, then Bregman is expected to start at second base. That latter scenario means Campbell would likely open the season at Triple-A Worcester.

  • Red Sox's Kristian Campbell: Working out at keystone exclusively

    Rotowire
    Campbell said Monday that he's been working out at second base almost exclusively during spring training, Rob Bradford of WEEI.com reports. Presumably, that's been at the directive of the Red Sox, which is notable with the team not yet revealing which positions Alex Bregman and Rafael Devers will play this season. Campbell's playing time in the minors in 2024 was split fairly evenly between second base, shortstop and center field, with some third base mixed in. If Campbell wins a starting job this spring, it appears likely to be at second base, which would presumably result in Bregman playing third base and Devers shifting to designated hitter and/or first base.

  • Red Sox's Kristian Campbell: Plans may change

    Rotowire
    Boston's acquisition of Alex Bregman could impact Campbell in 2025, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports. The prospect had been expected to compete for the starting job at second base prior to Bregman agreeing to a deal. If Bregman is used as the team's primary second baseman, it makes more sense for the Red Sox to have Campbell get regular at-bats at Triple-A Worcester. The Bregman deal should be finalized in the coming days, at which point, Campbell's role for the upcoming season should become clearer. If the Red Sox slot Bregman at second base, then Campbell could open the season at Triple-A Worcester, where he would get regular plate appearances. That seems more likely than having him stick around as a utility infielder, which would limit his at-bats. Boston has a number of utility infielders that could handle a part-time role, such as David Hamilton, Vaughn Grissom or Romy Gonzalez.

  • Red Sox's Kristian Campbell: In mix at second base

    Rotowire
    Campbell will be part of the competition during spring training for the starting job at second base, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports. Of Boston's top prospects, Campbell has the clearest path to a spot on the the major-league roster because of his defensive versatility. The Red Sox don't have a surefire starter at the keystone at this point, and Campbell will join Vaughn Grissom as the top candidates for the position. Campbell didn't start 2024 as a highly regarded prospect, but he put himself on the radar by slashing .329/.437/.551 with 19 home runs, 24 steals and a 20 percent strikeout rate in 115 games across the top three levels of the minor leagues.

  • Red Sox's Kristian Campbell: Tweaks shoulder Wednesday

    Rotowire
    Campbell was removed from Triple-A Worcester's game Wednesday versus Syracuse after feeling a spasm in his left shoulder while running the bases, Tommy Cassell of the Worcester Telegram & Gazette reports. He was later diagnosed with left lat soreness, according to Alex Speier of The Boston Globe. Worcester manager Chad Tracy said he's unsure if Campbell will be able to play Thursday, but the lat injury is considered "very minor" and isn't expected to keep the infield prospect out for the season. The 22-year-old's prospect stock has gained plenty of helium during a banner 2024 campaign in which he's slashed .330/.439/.558 with 20 home runs and 24 stolen bases in 519 plate appearances across three levels.

  • Red Sox's Kristian Campbell: Promoted again

    Rotowire
    The Red Sox promoted Campbell from Double-A Portland to Triple-A Worcester on Sunday, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports. Campbell will get his second promotion of the season after opening the campaign at High-A Greenville. The 22-year-old infielder was impressive during his time at Portland, maintaining a 197 wRC+ and .470 wOBA across 251 plate appearances. He's combined to hit 16 home runs and steal 20 bases over 95 games between Portland and Greenville this season.
