Cash
Campbell

Currently ranked No. 5 in Illinois. One of the premier left-handed bats in the state, Campbell swung it well in front of our staff with a two-hit game. The left-handed hitter has a fluid rhythm in the box, hanging his foot with an upper-half coil before firing his hands with effortless power though the zone. Finished the day with a double, single and a walk. 

CIF Cash Campbell (Montini, 2024; Iowa commit) continued to show at O’Hare that he is one of the top left-handed bats in the class and it was arguably the best round of BP we have seen from him to-date. Campbell has continued to shape his 6-foot-2, 215-pound frame and he seemed determined throughout his round to show off as much power to all fields as he could while staying easy, balanced and fluid throughout. It was an extremely mature round of BP that led to an event-best 98.7 mph max exit velocity and max batted ball distance of 369’. Campbell moves well for his size laterally with sure-handed actions and a clean transfer. His arm played with some ease and life out of the hand, reaching up to 81 mph across the diamond.

Iowa commit 3B Cash Campbell (Montini, 2024) continues to show an elite left-handed bat in the Illinois’ 2024 class. Campbell never seems to be in a hurry and takes consistent calm, competitive at-bats. Listed at 6-foot-2, 200-pounds, he creates easy bat strength with a heavy barrel and loose hands.

Took a solid round of IO before the game; moving well for his size and showing off reliable hands and fluid feet through the ball.

Ranked inside the top-25 prospects in the state’s sophomore class, INF Cash Campbell (Montini Catholic) gave our staff a quality up-to-date look at his skill set. Now built at a stronger and leaner 6-foot-2, 205-pounds, Campbell’s left-handed stroke showed well in BP, as he displayed loose strong hands and natural lift through contact with a max exit velocity of 97.3 mph. He worked in rhythm on the infield as well with athletic feet and an accurate arm that delivered from a high ¾ slot. He’s long been an intriguing follow for us and we’re eager to see him continue to build off this performance throughout this year.
