22-Year-Old Second Baseman2B
Boston Red Sox
2025 Fantasy Outlook
The top pop-up prospect of 2024, 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. Read Past Outlooks

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Unlikely to make roster?
2BBoston Red Sox
March 5, 2025
Ian Browne of MLB.com doesn't believe Campbell will be included on the Red Sox's Opening Day roster.
ANALYSIS
The 22-year-old is one of the organization's top prospects and finished the 2024 campaign at the Triple-A level after opening the year at High-A. The offseason signing of Alex Bregman clogged a Boston infield that already included Triston Casas, Rafael Devers and Trevor Story, leaving a narrow path to playing time for Campbell. He played in just 19 games at Triple-A last year, so beginning 2025 back in the minors has always seemed to be the likeliest course of action.
