WORCESTER — Roman Anthony didn’t mince words on Thursday when asked of his goals ahead of a new baseball season.
“Be a big leaguer — as fast as I can,” the Red Sox’s top prospect said at the Worcester Red Sox’s Media Day at Polar Park.
The 20-year-old outfielder isn’t there quite yet.
But with MLB Pipeline’s No. 2 prospect stepping up to the plate less than 50 miles away from Fenway Park on Friday — Anthony knows that he’s knocking at the door to the majors.
“Just to continue to develop with this team, win, and hopefully get back up there as fast as I can,” Anthony said of the message from the Red Sox after being assigned to Triple-A earlier this week.
