Kristian Campbell, a 22-year-old infielder for the Red Sox, appears to be securing the starting second baseman position ahead of Opening Day. While he has struggled at the plate with a .174 batting average in spring training, his recent performance, including hitting his first spring home run and showcasing defensive skills, has positioned him as the favorite to make his MLB debut. Red Sox manager Alex Cora hinted at confidence in Campbell's selection, though he awaits final confirmation on the roster.
"The presumption around Red Sox camp is that he will be their second basemen," ESPN's Buster Olney shared on X on Saturday.
"has a pretty good idea" of who will win the starting 2B job, says Red Sox manager Alex Cora.
Campbell is only batting .174 with a .587 OPS during spring training, but he's seemed to emerge as Boston's pick for the role in recent days.
Campbell made an impressive grab at second base, diving to catch a line drive and holding on as he crashed into the infield dirt.
