Roman Anthony has arrived.
The Boston Red Sox future superstar, the No. 1 prospect in all of baseball, made his MLB debut on Monday night.
On Tuesday, he made a big change pregame, going from No. 48 to No. 19 on his uniform.
And then once the action got underway, Anthony notched a huge accomplishment: his first MLB hit.
It was a big one, as the left-handed hitting Anthony lined a ball the other way for a two-run double.

Anthony, just 21 years old, had a .914 OPS at Triple-A before his call-up.
He was the 79th overall pick in 2022 MLB Draft out of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, but he quickly proved he should've gone much higher.
Anthony's MLB debut on Monday night included impressively hard contact in each of his first two at bats with nothing to show for it.
But 24 hours later, Anthony's MLB hit counter was off and running. The Red Sox hope and believe there's plenty more where that came from.
