Gustavo Angel Campero Patrón (born June 18, 1999) is an Colombian professional baseball outfielder for the Los Angeles Angels of Major League Baseball (MLB).
Professional career
Campero played in the New York Yankees organization from 2017 to 2019. He started his career as a catcher before switching to an outfielder.[1]
On September 15, 2024, Campero was selected to the 40-man roster and promoted to the major leagues for the first time.[2] He made his MLB debut that day against the Houston Astros, recording his first career RBI. [3]
International career
Campero represents Colombia in international competition. In five plate appearances at the 2023 World Baseball Classic, he slashed .200/.200/.200, tallying one hit.[4] In Colombia's game against Mexico, he hit a ball that shortstop Luis Urías mishandled, allowing Jorge Alfaro to score to give Colombia the lead, though they would later lose the game.[5]
