Breaking: Georgia Tech second baseman Kristian Campbell selected in 2023 MLB Draft
Georgia Tech second baseman Kristian Campbell is officially off the board in the 2023 MLB Draft.
Campbell was selected today by the Boston Red Sox today in the 4th round and I think he has what it takes to stick at the next level. He was great in the leadoff spot for the Yellow Jackets this past season and was named a freshman All-American by Collegiate Baseball.
In the third round today, the Red Sox also selected Georgia Tech signee Antonio Anderson.
This season, Campbell hit .376 for 65 hits, 16 doubles, one triple, four home runs, and 24 RBI. Drawing 29 walks and 11 hit-by-pitches with just 16 strikeouts in 173 at-bats, he reached base at a .484 clip. He was batting in the leadoff spot for much of the season (Per Georgia Tech PR).

In conference play alone, Campbell hit .388 with 45 hits, 10 doubles, and two home runs, drawing 19 walks, five HBP, and striking out just 13 times in 116 at-bats for a .493 on-base percentage (Per Georgia Tech PR).
