Stammen, speaking during spring training, highlighted Campusano's success in Triple-A last season and noted his new haircut as a positive sign. The manager emphasized that Campusano now has a 'runway' to take control of the job during Spring Training.
Previously, Campusano had limited opportunities under manager Mike Shildt, who rarely let him catch. With Freddy Fermin as the front-line catcher, Stammen plans to utilize Campusano significantly to avoid burning out Fermin while giving the 27-year-old every chance to prove himself.
