Cam Collier:
The Reds selected infielder Cam Collier in the first round of the 2022 MLB draft. Cam is the son of former Major Leaguer Lou Collier and was 17 years old when he was drafted out of prep school from Chipola Junior College. Cam is 6’1 and is 210 lbs and plays mostly 3rd base but can also play 1st base for the Dayton Dragons. Cam has tremendous bat speed and power to all fields. He can hit for average and power with his smooth left handed swing. He plays a good third base but could see a move to first, should his frame continue to grow.
In Rookie Ball in 2022, Collier would bat .370 with 2 home runs and walk 7 times in 9 games.
2023 would be harder for Collier. He would be one of the youngest players in the Florida State league for the Reds Low A affiliate in Daytona. Cam would end the 2023 season in Daytona with a batting average at .246, 6 home runs, 21 doubles and an on base percentage at .349. With all of this and him being one of the younger players in his league, he would earn a promotion to High A ball in Dayton for 2024.
Cam would get off to a very hot start in 2024. He would bat .298 in April with 7 home runs and 25 RBIs. Unfortunately he has since cooled down and would hit .188 in May and is currently hitting .220 in June.
Cam is still just 19 years old, he has a ton of upside. He has a good approach at the plate and his defense is very underrated, he has a very strong arm at 3rd base. He’s athletic enough, that I feel should the Reds need him to move to the outfield for further promotion, he could do it. I see him sticking at third base and potentially moving to first in the future however. Cam has a current MLB ETA for 2026.
Cam is going to be an extremely fun player to watch and if you’re in the Dayton Ohio area, go watch a Dragons game, they’re a lot of fun and have some more prospects I will spotlight in the near future.
