Kristian Campbell Is Baseball America’s 2024 Minor League Player Of The Year
Kristian Campbell’s rise to one of the top prospects in baseball is virtually unprecedented.
Campbell, Baseball America’s 2024 Minor League Player of the Year, is the first winner since 2001 to enter the year unranked in his organization’s preseason Top 30 prospects. Over the course of a year, Campbell transformed from an unheralded draft prospect with fringy power to someone with 25-homer upside and a chance to land a starting gig for the Red Sox in 2025. He joins Jackson Holliday (2023), Gunnar Henderson (2022) and Bobby Witt Jr. (2021) as recent winners.
So how did he do it?
Baseball America’s Geoff Pontes details Campbell’s phenomenal 2024 season, including offseason adjustments and an exploration of Boston’s hitting development program.

BA MINOR LEAGUE PITCHER OF THE YEAR
Quinn Mathews Wins BA’s 2024 Minor League Pitcher Of The Year
Quinn Mathews dominated hitters in 2024, surging from Low-A to Triple-A while surpassing 200 strikeouts for the season. As J.J. Cooper lays out today, reaching the 200-strikeout marker is nearly uncharted territory for the modern minor league pitcher, only furthering Mathews’ dominant 2024 season and rise within the Cardinals’ system.
