Roman Anthony Blasts 497-Foot Grand Slam on Saturday
Roman Anthony collected just one hit in four at-bats on Saturday for Triple-A Worcester, but the lone hit was a mammoth 497-foot grand slam that came off the bat at 115.6 mph. In addition to the four RBI, MLB's top prospect also walked once and scored twice in the contest. It was the 21-year-old's 10th home run of the year and the longest home run hit at any level this season. The 6-foot-3 slugger is now slashing .290/.421/.495 on the season. Despite going 5-for-29 (.172) over his last seven games, he owns one of the best hit tools in the minors, and Saturday's display should show that, at the very least, his power is MLB-worthy. Anthony will be one of the next big prospects to get the call to the majors and should be up by the end of the month. The left-handed slugger is a stash candidate in all leagues ahead of his eventual call-up.
