Boston Red Sox rookie Roman Anthony has been a breakout star for the franchise, and he’s gonna be there for a long time. He really lived up to being the No. 1 overall prospect in baseball, and is helping his team win games.
His breakout hasn’t gone unnoticed either, as Bleacher Report’s Joel Reuter has him ranked as the second best rookie in all of baseball.
“Roman Anthony began the season as the No. 1 prospect in baseball, and the 21-year-old has transformed the Red Sox offense since taking over as the team's primary leadoff hitter. He might still be a long shot in the AL Rookie of the Year race, but it's entirely possible Anthony ends up being the best player from the 2025 rookie class by a wide margin when all is said and done,” Reuter wrote.
This season, Anthony is slashing .291/.397/.465/.862 with eight home runs and 31 RBI in 70 games. In the past month, he’s slashing .304/.390/.520/.910 with six of his eight home runs.

As he plays more and more, he’s getting better and better. Anthony definitely had a rocky start, but he’s been an absolute monster ever since.
Hopefully he can keep this up, as he has been one of the driving forces of Boston’s offense. With the playoffs around the corner, his talent will definitely be needed.
