Show Notes
Roman Anthony, a top prospect for the Boston Red Sox, had a breakout rookie season in 2025, batting .292 with an .859 OPS. Hes set to lead off in 2026, with projections suggesting hell bat around .270, hit 18-22 homers, and drive in 80 runs. His impressive exit velocity, hard-hit rate, and barrel rate indicate real quality contact, and he could add power by lifting the ball more. Anthonys performance in the 2026 World Baseball Classic and spring training further boosts expectations. Hes expected to contribute around 2.5 wins above replacement, making him a potential AL East contender boost.
