Nov 2020 Report

Evaluator: Jake Boes

Age: 24 yr
Height: 6-2
Weight: 195 lbs
Hits/Throws: R/R
Acquired: 2015 Draft - Round CBA, HOU
RuleV: On 40-man

Physical Description: Tall, athletic frame; 6'2" 195 lbs list appears accurate; average strength but sturdy; smooth movements; coordinated with instincts. Son of Gold Glove center fielder Mike Cameron.

Hit: Slightly open stance; comfortable. Fluid hands slightly above the letters with slight bend at the knee with a wide base. Approach is patient and inside-out; consciously trying to use center and opposite fields. Will work counts. Above-average bat speed generated with quick hands through the zone, but may miss a good fastball away and strike out due to approach. Peaks and valleys; lots of hard contact to the gaps when he is right. Grade: 50

Power: Flashes plus raw in BP; extra-base power in games with below-average home run totals. Could be average long-term with pro instruction and refinement with approach. Grade: 50

Field: Plus defender in center and right; great reads and routes in both positions; reads tailing line drives well. Smooth strides allow him to cut off balls in the gaps; unafraid to dive. Steady and reliable defender. Grade: 60

Arm: Accurate arm with average arm strength; hits cut offs with ease. Would be fine in right field or center. Grade: 50

Run: Instinctual runner; long strides with times ranging 4.22-4.26 home to first. Will go first to third and steal occasional bases but will not be a regular base- stealing threat. Good hustle and effort both on the basepaths and in the field; will get burned on the basepaths due to aggressiveness occasionally. Grade: 55

Overall: Hit tool will influence role; defense and speed will keep him on an MLB roster. If the hit tool reaches its ceiling, it's a five-tool every day regular with leadoff- type attributes. Cameron is a plus athlete with the tools necessary to fit at any outfield position and be a plus defender.
