Statistically Speaking:

Nikko Campanella is a superstar in the making, the next big star playing in the upper leagues. His combination of electric hitting and wizard level defense will provide his team with their next generational talent. He's a perennial All Star, and will lead the way for a decade or longer. Physical limitations will limit Campanella HR Derby nominations, although his fast-twitch athleticism is capable of jolting the softball on occasion. He will generate plenty of doubles and triples with gap power and plus-speed.

Upside Potential:

Exceptional jumps and routes to all directions. Double-plus speed to cover tons of ground. Makes tough plays look easy. Should remain a plus defender through in his early-mid 30s.

They Said It:

"Already a highly-skilled and experienced player at such a young age, Campanella energetic athleticism and high softball IQ make him the prototypical table-setting, plus-defending shortstop that championship-caliber teams covet." -- Jack Glasscock – WHAT? Scouting director
