2020 Undrafted Free Agent Signings

[Smichaelis9]

Noah Campbell, a switch hitting infielder from South Carolina has been signed according to the South Carolina team Twitter’s tweet here

 

Can’t find a ton on him but there’s some video on YouTube from his high school days

 

And a few links that tie him to his time with the CCBL team, the Yarmouth-Dennis Red Sox.

Tweet with batting averages and showing infield hands

And then

 

Appears Campbell was the Brewers 19th round selection in 2017 and was actually Baseball America’s 111th ranked prospect in that draft. Definitely looks like an interesting pickup to follow!

Noah Campbell is an outstanding non-drafted free agent signing for the Brewers, someone who could really have things click in professional baseball.

 

 

Last August Baseball America ranked Noah Campbell as the 10th best prospect at the Cape Cod League in this article, 2019 Cape Cod League Top Prospects: 1-10

 

Here is what they said about him:

 

10. Noah Campbell, 2B/OF, Yarmouth-Dennis (Junior, South Carolina)

 

Campbell ranked sixth on this list a year ago after a standout summer that saw him finish second in the league in batting. He had a tough sophomore season at South Carolina, but rebounded when he returned to Yarmouth-Dennis, hitting .324/.442/.431 to finish sixth in the league in hitting.

 

Campbell has exciting all-around tools and athleticism, though he’s still learning how to make the most of it on the diamond. He has quick hands, which are the key to making his unconventional swing work. A switch-hitter, he makes hard contact and produces solid power. He’s also a plus runner, though he’s still learning how to make the most of his speed on the base paths. Campbell split his time defensively this summer between second base and left field. His speed would play in center, if a team committed to him there, and his athleticism gives him a chance at second base. He’ll need a better spring than he had this year to go in the first round next year, but his performance in back-to-back summers on the Cape shows his potential.

 

——————————————————

Heading into this year’s draft Campbell was ranked as the #328 overall prospect by Baseball America and the #245 overall prospect by Perfect Game.

 

Here is the BA capsule for him leading into the draft:

 

Campbell was a highly regarded high school prospect out of Cardinal Gibbons High in Raleigh, N.C., in 2017, when he ranked No. 111 on the BA 500. He competed with current Rays prospect Greg Jones at the time as a toolsy prep shortstop from the state. Campbell’s prospect hype has faded a bit in his time at South Carolina, as he’s struggled to hit at the same level he showed in high school. Campbell has a .254/.349/.382 line with the Gamecocks over three seasons. He has been an enigma for evaluators each summer, as Campbell has twice gone to the Cape Cod League and performed at a high level with Yarmouth-Dennis, but that production has never translated to SEC and metal bats. He’s a career .344/.449/.536 hitter in the Cape with almost as many home runs (nine) in 66 games with wood as he’s managed in 111 games with metal (10). Campbell is a plus runner, though scouts don’t think he will be able to play center field at the next level. He’s spent time at second base and in left field, but teams believe he doesn’t field well enough to stick on the dirt at the next level. That puts him in a corner spot, where he doesn’t have the typical power to profile offensively. While Campbell does have good bat speed, evaluators question his ability to pick up and recognize breaking balls and offspeed offerings. Without significant production with South Carolina, Campbell could have a tough time in a five-round draft.

Thanks for all the updates

well, if you are going to struggle, its better for your MLB career to struggle with metal bats.
