1/18/25 : Phillies acquire outfielder Dylan Campbell

Yesterday the Phillies traded 2025 international slot money to the Los Angeles Dodgers in exchange for minor league outfielder Dylan Campbell.  He was the Dodgers fourth round compensation pick in the 2023 draft from the University of Texas. Campbell is a right handed hitter and grew up in the Houston,Texas area.


He was a two sport star in high school - nicknamed the “Bo Jackson” of high school football at Strake Jesuit HS in Houston.  He ran for over 2,000 yards and scored 31 touchdowns in his senior year as a running back and could have played collegiately at the least with pro possibilities as well. He instead chose baseball and enrolled at the University of Texas where in three seasons he posted a .394 OBP in 564 plate appearances.


Dylan played sparingly as a pro in 2023 after signing with the Dodgers appearing in just four games with their complex league team.  He was assigned to the Dodgers High A Great Lakes team in 2024 and was one of just eight minor leaguers to finish the year with 20 plus doubles, 10 plus home runs and 40 plus stolen bases (source : Baseball America). He played all three outfield positions with right field being his primary spot and showed above-average speed and an elite arm that helped him produce eight outfield assists.


The “Dodgers Daily” website said this about him “Dylan Campbell is a position player prospect that has versatility and balance to his game that allows him to do just about everything. He’s known for making diving catches, bunting for base hits, and then also hitting home runs.”


Campbell hit .251/.331/.372 in 493 plate appearances at the High A level last summer with 21 doubles, a triple, 10 home runs, 53 RBIs and 42 stolen bases. He walked in 50 plate appearances and struck out 110 times. He’s 22 years old (will be 23 in July) and likely will be in the competition for an outfield spot with AA Reading this coming spring.


From a fan’s view welcome to the Phillies Dylan!


Happy Day, Happy Baseball ⚾️
