Campbell has struggled as of late, but was named the American League Rookie of the Month for March\/April after hitting .301 with four home runs and 12 RBIs to go along with a .902 OPS.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Anthony and Mayer continue to rake with Triple-A Worcester, signaling they\u2019re ready to make the jump to the next level and just waiting on the Red Sox to give them the call they\u2019ve dreamt about.<\/p>\n<p>And once Anthony and Mayer join Campbell in the big leagues, they\u2019ll be aided even more by pieces of advice Campbell plans to pass along to them.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen I got here, everyone told me to be myself and do what I did in the minor leagues and I\u2019ll be fine,\u201d Campbell told The Athletic\u2019s Jen McCaffrey. \u201cThat\u2019s made me successful so far, I just try not to make it bigger than it is, even though it is a big step into Major League Baseball. So I would tell (Anthony and Mayer) to be the same as they are, don\u2019t try to do too much, but take it in at the same time because you debut one time and it is definitely going to be different. It hits people differently in different ways.\u201d<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>Story continues below advertisement<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Campbell certainly can relate to Anthony, 21, and Mayer, 22, and not just as a big-time prospect trying to crack the majors. Campbell has played both in the infield and outfield \u2014 31 starts at second at second base and five starts in the outfield \u2014 during his time with the Red Sox, making him better suited to let Anthony and Mayer know what to look out for on a big-league diamond.<\/p>\n<figure><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Will Middlebrooks Weighs In on Boston Red Sox's First Base Conundrum\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/tcQcx64ebIo?feature=oembed\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cSpeed of the game is a little bit faster,\u201d Campbell said. \u201cI would tell Marcelo, specifically, for the infield, know who\u2019s up to bat and know who\u2019s running. Make sure your internal clock is good, knowing how fast guys are helps because I learned that early. Some plays are dead when there\u2019s no play, there\u2019s no play. There\u2019s not too much you can do when that happens.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While those in the baseball world salivate over Anthony\u2019s pure left-handed swing, questions have been raised about his defensive capabilities.<\/p>\n<p>Anthony has split his time across the three outfield positions this season with 12 starts in left field, eight in center field and four in right field. He also started 11 games at designated hitter.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>Story continues below advertisement<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Learning how to play outfield at Fenway Park and deal with the massive wall in left or the vast amount of space in right could be a tricky assignment for Anthony. But Campbell believes Anthony will just need to lean on defensive placement card to put himself in the best position to have defensive success.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJust being on your card and knowing exactly where you\u2019re supposed to be, whoever\u2019s up at bat just being very specific, and being in the right spot at all times,\u201d Campbell said. \u201cIn the minor leagues, you have to be in the right spot, but you\u2019re held to a higher standard here in the major leagues.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kristian Campbell already made the jump to the big leagues and would give fellow top Red Sox prospects this advice when they do the same.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":55029,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-55028","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mlb"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.6 -
