The Cleveland Guardians are laying the groundwork for the upcoming Rule 5 Draft scheduled for fall 2026. As part of their scouting efforts, the organization is monitoring standout college performers, including Oklahoma State pitcher Justin Campbell, who currently leads the Big 12 Conference with 39 strikeouts this season.
Campbell's strong showing has drawn attention from multiple MLB clubs ahead of the draft, where teams can select eligible players not on 40-man rosters. The Guardians' front office is expected to evaluate a range of pitching prospects to bolster their system.
