Red Sox prospect Kristian Campbell has been nicknamed “Barry Bonds” by his teammates due to his impressive hitting ability, according to top prospect Roman Anthony. Campbell was recently promoted to Triple-A Worcester, joining fellow prospects Anthony, Kyle Teel, and Marcelo Mayer to form the “Big Four.” The 22-year-old shortstop/center fielder was drafted in the fourth round in 2023 and has been on fire in the Red Sox system, posting impressive stats at both High-A Greenville and Portland.
Campbell initially struggled with strikeouts but has since adjusted his approach to add more power to his game, resulting in improved performance at the plate. Despite concerns about his impact, Campbell has proven himself to be a first-round talent and has shown steady improvement throughout the season. His promotion to Triple-A marks a significant step in his development as a player.
Chase Ford of MiLB Central was the first to report Campbell’s promotion, which has excited fans and teammates alike. With the addition of Campbell, Worcester now boasts a strong lineup of talented prospects, fueling optimism for the future of the Red Sox organization. Stay tuned to see how Campbell continues to impress as he climbs the ranks in professional baseball.
