Jan 2021 Report

Evaluator: Jake Kerns

Age: 19 yr
Height: 6-1
Weight: 160 lbs
Hits/Throws: R/R
Acquired: 2018 IFA
RuleV: 2022

Physical Description: Lean frame with plenty of projection. Athletic kid who plays with a smile on his face.

Hit: Slightly crouched and open stance. Keeps his hands high and back. Some pre-pitch body sway. Keeps his weight back and his knees tight. Moderate leg kick as he loads and steps into the pitch. Repeatable, linear swing that results in mostly line-drive contact. Quick wrists that help generate above-average bat speed. Uses his lower half well. Ball jumps off the bat during BP. Projectable swing that simply needs reps. Shows some barrel awareness. Tool could approach an average grade in time. Grade: 40

Power: Fringe-average raw power with room to grow as he physically matures. Not strong enough to consistently impact the ball; present gap power. Uses his hips well, and his natural bat speed suggests he could flash more power in the future. Grade: 40

Field: Moves well in the grass. Shows good instincts and closing speed. Unafraid to lay out for the ball. Plus range that fits in any outfield position. Potentially plus in CF. Grade: 55

Arm: Average arm strength with below-average carry. Throws were often shorthopped to home and 3B from shallow RF. Hits his cutoff with consistency. Throws were mostly on target in looks. Not enough arm for RF. Grade: 45

Run: Plus-plus times in the 60 yd dash as an amateur. Quick out of the box. Timed 11.60 home to third with a bad jump. Shows good awareness on the basepaths. Can take an extra base on balls to the grass. A legitimate threat to steal. Grade: 70

Overall: Campana offers an intriguing mix of tools, but is raw enough with the bat to create substantial doubt that he'll reach his potentially average everyday upside. He needs minor league reps more than anything, but his speed and defense are good enough to suggest he can be something more than an org. guy with even a light bat. He received positive reviews during instructs and is on the radar for a future breakout.
