Campbell's stock rising as draft day arrives

FAYETTEVILLE — University of Arkansas pitcher Isaiah Campbell likely improved his Major League Baseball Draft stock more than 600 places by deciding to return for his redshirt junior season.

Last year, Campbell was drafted in the 24th round by the Los Angeles Angels with the No. 721 overall pick.

Campbell, a 6-4, 235-pound right-hander, could hear his name called tonight when teams will make 78 picks for the first and second rounds and compensatory selections.

MLB.com rates Campbell as the No. 45 overall prospect, Baseball America has him at No. 47 and ESPN has him at No.
