Boston Red Sox Top Prospect is Posting Metrics That Are Even Better Than Shohei Ohtani and Aaron Judge

Anthony is one of the vaunted "big three" prospects for the Red Sox, alongside Marcelo Mayer and Kristian Campbell. The latter made the roster on Opening Day and the former are waiting for their calls.

The No. 79 overall pick in 2022 out of the Florida high school ranks, Anthony is still just 20 years old. He's a career .284 hitter in the minors. The issue for him, at the moment, is that the Red Sox have a full outfield with Wilyer Abreu, Ceddanne Rafaela and Jarren Duran all playing out there. Furthermore, Campbell has played out there to give himself more opportunities to get on the field. Masataka Yoshida is also expected back soon from injury, complicating matters further.

The following comes from a portion of Anthony's MLB.com prospect profile:

Anthony's advanced swing decisions, quick stroke and growing strength allow him to make more consistent contact and generate higher exit velocities than most players his age. He pulled the ball with more authority than ever in 2024, though he won't fully tap into his plus-plus raw power until he lifts pitches more regularly. He could become a .300 hitter who provides 30 homers and ranks among the league leaders in walks on an annual basis.
