Kristian Campbell, recently recognized as Baseball America’s 2024 Minor League Player of the Year, will join the Red Sox for the upcoming Major League season in 2025. The announcement was made in a memorable way by manager Alex Cora, who incorporated it into a project related to Georgia Tech baseball players. At just 22, Campbell debuted with a stellar performance in the minor leagues, boasting a .330/.439/.558 batting average. His emotional reaction included celebrating with his family, fulfilling a lifelong dream to play in the MLB alongside notable peers.
"There's a little bit of a backstory behind it. He asked me about all the different guys who played professional baseball that went to Georgia Tech. He gave me a list of different guys and everything, and he told me that my name would be added to that list. So it was a special moment, for sure."
"It was a dream come true, for sure. It was really exciting. [I] had to my call my family, call my mom, dad, brother and sister. Let everybody know. It was cool."
"They were yelling on the phone. They were super excited for me. It's definitely something I've worked for my whole life. So, it's a really special moment."
