Campbell University is not exactly a household name, but the small school in Buies Creek, NC could have baseball fans crying “Roll Humps!” as a result of the MLB Draft. That’s because there could be two Campbell Camels selected on Day 1, including one who might be a Cubs target at No. 27.
Outfielder Michael Barefoot, who was the MVP of the Cape Cod League in 2018, should find his way into the second round. But the big name everyone is raving about is pitcher Seth Johnson, who now looks to be a first round pick.
Johnson is a 6-foot-1, 200-pound right-handed pitcher who checks a lot of the boxes Cubs SVP of player development and amateur scouting Jason McLeod likes.
