The Red Sox’ farm system has been anchored by familiar names like Marcelo Mayer, Ceddanne Rafaela, and Miguel Bleis over the last year.
But no Boston prospect’s stock has risen more over the summer than 19-year-old outfielder Roman Anthony.
In his first full season of pro ball, Anthony advanced from low-A Salem all the way to Double-A Portland, slashing .272/.403/.466/.869 over 106 games with 14 home runs and 64 RBI.
Anthony, who won’t turn 20 until May 2024, will likely start next season with Portland and has accelerated his timeline up to the big leagues in short order.
