Roman Anthony Having An Outstanding June
6 months agoBoston Red Sox outfield prospect Roman Anthony has excelled with Double-A Portland, especially in June. Through 15 games, he's 16-for-57 (.281 AVG) with four doubles, five home runs, 11 RBI, and a 5:12 BB/SO ratio. Before June, he'd lacked power, slashing .243/.365/.392. However, he's up to .254/.366/.463 slash line on the season. It's also worth noting that Anthony has performed better against lefties than righties. A left-handed hitter, he's currently 13-for-40 (.325 AVG) with a .910 OPS against lefties. Against righties, he's 39-for-165 (.236 AVG) with a .809 OPS, which is still rather impressive. Just 20 years old, Anthony is expected to make his MLB debut next year.
