Atlanta Braves Minor leagues Camargo signed with the
Atlanta Braves for $42,000 as a 16-year old out of Panama in July 2010 as an international free agent. After missing the 2011 season, Camargo made his professional debut in 2012 with the
DSL Braves, and batted .343/.433/.455 in 198 at bats. Camargo spent 2013 with Rookie level
Danville, and hit .294/.359/.360 in 228 at bats over 57 games, playing shortstop almost exclusively. Camargo was awarded with a spot in the
Arizona Fall League with
Peoria, where he played in 16 games. Almost exclusively a
shortstop, Camargo began 2016 playing at
second base for Double-A
Mississippi to accommodate the likes of
Ozzie Albies and
Dansby Swanson. When all three were on the team, Camargo played
third base, and after Swanson was promoted to the major leagues, he took over at shortstop. At the plate, Camargo hit .267.304/.379 with 4 HR, along with 46 runs and 43 RBIs in 446 at bats over 126 games. The Braves added him to their
40-man roster after the season.
Major leagues After missing out on the
Opening Day roster, Camargo was quickly recalled from Triple-A
Gwinnett on April 11, 2017, and made his debut that night. After two short-lived stints in the major leagues, Camargo's playing time increased in the month of June when third baseman
Adonis García was placed on the disabled list. Camargo hit his first career home run on July 9, against
Washington Nationals pitcher
Matt Grace. After
Adonis Garcia returned from the disabled list at third base, Camargo lost playing time; however, he quickly gained it back when the Braves benched
Dansby Swanson who eventually was demoted to
Triple A. Camargo was injured in August, and remained with the
Gwinnett Braves until September, resulting in the return of Swanson. With Atlanta in 2017 he batted .299/.331/.452 with 30 runs, 4 home runs, and 27 RBIs in 241 at bats. Following an injury to starting shortstop Dansby Swanson, Camargo played at that position, struggling defensively and offensively. As a result, Camargo was demoted to the
Gwinnett Stripers on August 16. Camargo returned to the major leagues when rosters expanded in September. In a game against the
Philadelphia Phillies on September 11, he suffered a hairline fracture in his right shin. The Braves subsequently placed Camargo on the 10-day injured list. In 2018 with Atlanta he batted .272/.349/.457 with 19 home runs and 76 RBIs in 456 at bats, and his .958 fielding percentage was 9th-best in the NL. His maximum
exit velocity of 114.4 miles per hour was in the top 5% of the league. In 2020, he batted .200/.244/.367 with 16 runs, 4 home runs, and 9 RBIs in 120 at bats. With Gwinett, he batted .326(3rd in the Triple-A East)/.401/.557 with 70 runs (2nd), 4 triples (5th), 19 home runs (7th), 67 RBIs (6th), and 47 walks (7th) in 386 at bats.
