MLB Writer’s Pick For Red Sox’s ‘Best Prospect’ Might Surprise You

Kristian Campbell is on an absolute tear this season in the Boston Red Sox farm system.

The 2023 fourth-round draft pick earned a pair of promotions this year moving from High-A Greenville to Double-A Portland to Triple-A Worcester. Since reaching a step away from MLB, Campbell sports an .866 OPS with four home runs in 16 games for the Red Sox affiliate.

That swift rise through the Red Sox system caught the attention of Baseball America’s Eli Ben-Porat, who added context to the idea that Campbell may just be the best prospect in Boston’s organization.

Campbell smashes the ball at the dish, and StatCast data certainly supports the sound of the ball off the Red Sox prospect’s bat. His hit tool adds reason for intrigue in one of the more intriguing profiles across the minor leagues.

It’s just one reason why Campbell needs to be an immediate contributor at the big-league level for the Red Sox to start the 2025 season.
