Scott Campbell (born September 25, 1984 in Auckland, New Zealand) is a current Minor League Baseball batter for the New Hampshire Fisher Cats. In by|2005, he became the first ever New Zealander to be drafted by a Major League Baseball club, when selected 300th overall by the Toronto Blue Jays. Campbell is currently among the batting average leaders for the Double-A Eastern League, and is very effective in defence.
He played college baseball at Gonzaga University. In 2007, Campbell played for the low-A affiliate of the Blue Jays, the Lansing Lugnuts. In 2007 he showed some promise as a hitter, hitting .279/ .390/.397. However he was not considered a top prospect of the Jays given his age and the level where he played. In 2008, Campbell had a breakout year, increasing his batting average to .341 and his OBP to .435 while moving up two levels to AA. He was chosen to represent the World team at the 2008 All-Star Futures Game as part of the 2008 MLB All-Star festivities. Given his reputation as a solid defensive second baseman, Campbell is now widely considered one of the better prospects in the Toronto Blue Jays minor league system, and has been compared to Chase Utley by Blue Jays General Manager J.P. Ricciardi.
