Drafted by the Mariners with the 76th overall pick in the 2019 MLB First-Year Player Draft, right-handed pitcher Isaiah Campbell is waiting patiently to make his professional debut.
Isaiah Campbell was born in Angra do Heroismo on Terceira Island in the Azores, a set of small islands about 1000 miles from continental Portugal because his father, Parry, was stationed at the United States Air Force base there. And from there he spent time in Germany and Turkey before eventually spending most of his adolescence in Kansas.
At 6-foot-4, 230 pounds, Campbell is an intimidating presence on a pitcher’s mound.
