Baseball America Names Three Red Sox Prospects As Minor League All-Stars
With the regular season in the book across Minor League Baseball, the time is now to honor several impact prospects that stood out around the sport in 2024. The Boston Red Sox had multiple deserving prospects with three stepping into the spotlight.
Baseball America released its All-Star teams on Monday, with outfielder Roman Anthony, infielder Kristian Campbell and outfielder Jhostynxon Garcia earning spots.
Anthony recovered nicely from a slow start to the season by hitting rockets across every stadium he played at this season. He finished the year between Double-A Portland and Triple-A Worcester, slashing .291/.396/.498 with 18 home runs and a .894 OPS. The Red Sox prospect recently earned elite praise from Baseball America, moving into the No. 1 prospect spot in baseball upon the graduation of Tampa Bay Rays infielder Junior Caminero.
Anthony spoke exclusively with NESN.com to react to that accolade and wrap up an encouraging season in his development for the Red Sox.
Campbell completely burst onto the scene in 2024, forcing his way onto the national radar with unique tears at the plate. He moved through three levels of the minors for the Red Sox, slashing .330/.439/.558 with 20 home runs and a .997 OPS. Campbell also spoke exclusively with NESN.com about a pivotal year that could set him up for a spot in the starting lineup with Boston in 2025.
Garica, who plays in the Boston system with his brother Johanfran, made the jump to Double-A after hitting 16 home runs in a 48-game sample size with High-A Greenville. Boston already has a surplus of outfielders in the system, but Garcia remains intriguing. Plus, his nickname, "The Password," is one of the best around.
The Red Sox sported another standout year in the farm system, brightening the future even more with young talent on the way to Boston.
