Roman Anthony Not Slowing Down at Triple-A
Roman Anthony went 3-for-7 over the weekend with a home run, three RBI, and two runs scored. The game's top prospect has been on base at least once in every single game in May, either via hit or walk, a stretch of 22 games where he's hit .354 with a .485 OBP, thanks in part to walking (21) more than he struck out (20). For the season, the 21-year-old owns a .321/.453/518 slash line with seven home runs, three steals, a .438 wOBA, and a 162 wRC+. The 6-foot-3 slugger possesses the top average exit velocity at Triple-A (95.2) along with a 60.0 hard-hit rate, and at this point is just waiting for an opportunity to open up with the big league club. He's played mostly in left field this season (20 games), but also center field (10), and right field (4), as well as DH (13). Whether it happens due to underperformance from one of Boston's regulars or injury, Anthony will make his MLB debut within the coming weeks and should be stashed in most leagues for his power upside.
