View Draft Report

Campbell is a plus-plus runner who hits from both sides, but is better in the box as a lefthanded hitter, showing good feel to hit and above-average raw power. Although he's improved his arm strength to grade out as average, there is a chance he will have to move from shortstop in the future because of a stiff throwing motion. If he isn't able to throw from multiple angles, third base could be a fit, as he should have the raw arm strength to make it work at the hot corner. However if he's pushed from the dirt completely, his speed and athleticism should allow him to develop into a center fielder. He's performed well at the plate in front of scouts this spring--somewhat of a rarity in this class--and has a track record that dates back to his freshman year at Cardinal Gibbons, which might make teams more comfortable than with a player like Greg Jones, another North Carolina prep prospect who profiles similarly but is older and has been scouted less often.

Draft Prospects

Campbell was a highly regarded high school prospect out of Cardinal Gibbons High in Raleigh, N.C., in 2017, when he ranked No. 111 on the BA 500. He competed with current Rays prospect Greg Jones at the time as a toolsy prep shortstop from the state. Campbell’s prospect hype has faded a bit in his time at South Carolina, as he’s struggled to hit at the same level he showed in high school. Campbell has a .254/.349/.382 line with the Gamecocks over three seasons. He has been an enigma for evaluators each summer, as Campbell has twice gone to the Cape Cod League and performed at a high level with Yarmouth-Dennis, but that production has never translated to SEC and metal bats. He’s a career .344/.449/.536 hitter in the Cape with almost as many home runs (nine) in 66 games with wood as he’s managed in 111 games with metal (10). Campbell is a plus runner, though scouts don’t think he will be able to play center field at the next level. He’s spent time at second base and in left field, but teams believe he doesn’t field well enough to stick on the dirt at the next level. That puts him in a corner spot, where he doesn’t have the typical power to profile offensively. While Campbell does have good bat speed, evaluators question his ability to pick up and recognize breaking balls and offspeed offerings. Without significant production with South Carolina, Campbell could have a tough time in a five-round draft.
