Roman Anthony shines in Triple-A as top baseball prospect

Roman Anthony, a 20-year-old outfielder for the Boston Red Sox, has made a significant impact in Triple-A Worcester after being promoted from Double-A Portland just a month ago. He has quickly established himself as a top player, currently leading Baseball America's Top 100 prospect list. This promotion marks a historic moment as he became the youngest Red Sox prospect to play in a Triple-A game in 46 years. In his 25 games with the WooSox, Anthony has showcased impressive offensive skills, boasting a batting average of .340, an on-base percentage of .419, and a slugging percentage of .530. His performance includes three home runs, eight doubles, and 14 runs batted in, resulting in a remarkable OPS of .949. With 11 games left in the regular season, there is anticipation regarding whether he will continue to excel or receive a call-up to the Major Leagues. Anthony's rise to the top of the prospect rankings comes after Tampa Bay shortstop Junior Caminero graduated from prospect status, allowing Anthony to take the lead. He is now one of only three Red Sox players to achieve this ranking in the history of Baseball America, joining the ranks of Andrew Benintendi and Daisuke Matsuzaka. The Red Sox organization is currently well-represented in the Top 100, with six prospects making the list. Alongside Anthony, notable names include Marcelo Mayer, Kristian Campbell, Kyle Teel, Braden Montgomery, and Franklin Arias, indicating a strong future for the franchise.
