Anthony quickly lived up to the hype that followed him, alongside Marcelo Mayer and ex-Red Sox prospect Kyle Teel, from Portland to Worcester once the call-up to Triple-A was officially made in August of last season.<\/p>\n<p>Since then, Anthony\u2019s been focused on doing everything to remain prepared for the long-awaited call to the franchise\u2019s big league club in Boston.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJust cleaning up on my game and improving in every aspect so that way when I go into spring training, and I am competing for a spot, I\u2019ll be ready,\u201d Anthony told WooSox play-by-play announcer Jim Cain on Tuesday. \u201cFor me, I feel ready and I\u2019m gonna use this last month or three weeks, whatever it is, to continue to stay ready. I\u2019m just gonna try to go in and really leave no doubt and continue to learn. I don\u2019t think anything changes. I\u2019m not gonna change who I am or change the way I play because of who I\u2019m playing against or what I\u2019m playing for. So for me, just going in there and trying to leave no doubt and trusting the front office that they\u2019re gonna do what\u2019s right.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Anthony hit .344\/.463\/.519 with three home runs, 12 doubles and 20 RBIs in 35 games in Worcester, drawing oohs and ahhs from fans at Polar Park routinely. That crowd reaction can easily make its way from Worcester to Boston\u2019s Fenway Park this upcoming season, pending Anthony remains on track and continues to make strides as the soon-to-be big leaguer many project him to become.<\/p>\n<p>Boston\u2019s already opened the door for youngsters like Triston Casas, Ceddanne Rafaela and Wilyer Abreu to ascend and establish themselves at the big league level, and Anthony will join the organization\u2019s next wave.<\/p>\n<figure><\/figure>\n<p>Red Sox manager Alex Cora offered an intriguing big-league comparison to Anthony when asked during the team\u2019s Fenway Fest event on Saturday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s a good player,\u201d Cora told reporters at Fenway Park. \u201cI don\u2019t know, you guys have seen him more than me, but the way I see it, he\u2019s like J.D. Drew but athletic.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Anthony participated in Red Sox shortstop Trevor Story\u2019s position players workout last week and attended the team\u2019s annual Rookie Development Program, joining fellow prospects Kristian Campbell, Mayer, Hunter Dobbins, Jhostynxon Garcia, Carlos Narvaez and David Sandlin. It might not be too long until Anthony is officially referring to Cora as \u201cskipper\u201d and Story as his teammate.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Boston Red Sox top prospect Roman Anthony spoke about his offseason focus heading into 2025 as the No. 1 ranked minor leaguer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":26070,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-26063","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mlb"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 -
