The Boston Red Sox are calling up the best prospect in baseball. The team is calling up Outfielder Roman Anthony according to ESPN insider Jeff Passan. He was drafted 79th overall in the 2022 MLB Amateur Draft. He is ranked the No. 1 prospect in Major League Baseball. He is hitting .285 this season with 10 home runs and 31 RBI in AAA with the Worcester Red Sox. He is expected to join the ballclub later today. How will the star prospect fare in the big leagues?

It has been a disappointing start to the season for the Boston Red Sox. They are in fourth place in the American League East with a 32-35 record. Boston’s offense has been good overall this season. Anthony’s emergence should provide an already strong unit with a jolt. He will enter an outfield that includes Left Fielder Jarren Duran, Center Fielder Ceddanne Rafaela , and Right Fielder Wilyer Abreu. None of these outfielders have played up to expectations in 2025. That is where Anthony can help.

Final Thoughts

It is unclear when Anthony will make his big league debut, but the Red Sox begin a three-game set at home tonight against the Tampa Bay Rays. The best prospect in the sport will look to live up to it on the sport’s biggest stage.
