Kristian Campbell To Focus On Second Base In Spring Training
35 seconds agoBoston Red Sox manager Alex Cora said over the weekend that infield prospect Kristian Campbell and Vaughn Grissom will focus on second base in spring training, with shortstop prospect Marcelo Mayer playing multiple positions. Campbell, the team's No. 3 prospect per MLB Pipeline, played at High-A Greenville, Double-A Portland and Triple-A Worcester in 2024 and slashed a combined .330/.439/.558 with an impressive .997 OPS, 20 home runs, 77 RBI, 24 stolen bases and 94 runs scored in 115 total games. The 22-year-old finished the year on the injured list due to a lat injury, but he should be fully healthy for spring training as he competes for a job at the keystone with Grissom. Boston also has David Hamilton as an option at second, but Campbell has the highest ceiling of any of the BoSox's options for the position. Campbell's fantasy stock will continue to rise if he looks good this spring.
