The Red Sox are considering top prospect Kristian Campbell for the second base position to start the season following his standout performance in a recent game against the Rays. Campbell made key defensive plays, had a big league homer, and showed improvement in his batting, which impressed manager Alex Cora. Despite some struggles in the Grapefruit League, the Red Sox value Campbell’s ability to make hard contact and control the zone. Cora highlighted Campbell’s improved performance against fastballs, a pitch he had struggled with previously. Campbell attributes his success to working on his timing and finding his rhythm back. The final decision on the second base position will be announced in Monterrey, Mexico, where the Red Sox will play exhibition games. Campbell remains focused on playing until he is informed of the decision. His strong showing on Saturday has put him in a good position to potentially secure the starting role for the Red Sox.
