Mar 2021 Report
Evaluator: Jake Boes
Age: 22 yr
Height: 5-11
Weight: 232 lbs
Hits/Throws: R/R
Acquired: 2017 Round 2
RuleV: On 40-Man Roster
Physical Description: Compact, sturdy frame; lower-half more developed than upper. Thick neck, sloping shoulders. Room to add strength in the arms; strong torso with modest projection left. Tapered lower half with a high waist; thick, strong thighs, and lean calves. Appears 15-20 under list weight. At projection, could be a Maldonado-like frame. Injury history includes a concussion and wrist injury.
Hit: Simple setup off the plate; upright and open with hands near the ear. Squared hips with feet outside of shoulder-width to form a wide base. Modest leg kick that closes the stance; hands stay forward through load with a high finish. Shows strike zone awareness in the upper third of the zone; struggles on pitches beneath the zone, especially spin. Aggressive approach within the zone; tends to overswing, causing fouls or misses on pitches that should be driven. Unafraid to swing early in counts. Steep bat path and strong legs yield plus bat speed. Recent adjustments with hands and stance may help power but hinder strikeouts. Overall, an average hit tool that may need to revert some adjustments mechanically to reach its potential. Grade: 50
Power: Above-average raw that shows average in-game. Looks to do damage consistently; power favors the pull field but will sneak one over opposite-field on occasion. Struggles with spin may hinder power numbers in the pro ranks; continued strength in upper body may help. A gap hitter that can scrape 20 home runs if given everyday reps across a full season. Grade: 50
Field: Fringe-average defensive catcher; nothing about the tool sticks out, but culmination of skills makes for a useable glove behind the plate. Soft hands; smooth and agile movements. Main struggles are due to blocking; struggles to surround pitches in the dirt. Passed balls and wild pitches too common for the MLB level, but could be cleaned up with continued pro instruction. Grade: 45
Arm: Pop times vary in the 2.0-2.05 range; average arm; good strength, shows ability to throw from the knees if necessary. Accuracy is inconsistent; with most mistakes missing vertically. Times are between average and above-average but likely settles in at a solid-average long-term considering the accuracy concerns. Grade: 50
Run: Once well-below average but has recently improved to below average. Home to first times once in the 4.5 range but has become more agile with recent weight loss. Not a threat to steal on the bases, but no longer the base-clogger he once was and may be able to leg out the occasional infield hit. Grade: 40
Overall: While Campusano lacks some of the defensive prowess that a typical backup profile would possess, his hit-first approach with solid-average power makes his ceiling higher than some of his counterparts. Campusano reached the MLB level in 2020 after never seeing a game above High-A. He could use some more time in the minors to further refine his approach and tighten up his defense, but there are the makings of a hit-first everyday profile long-term.
