Rookie sensation Roman Anthony only played seven games against the New York Yankees in his debut season with the Boston Red Sox, though he made the loudest statement of his young career in a late August contest.
That home run was one of eight en route to Anthony's brilliant .292/.396/.463 (140 wRC+) slash line as a rookie. Though an oblique injury knocked him out for the last month of the regular season and the Red Sox's short-lived playoff run, it's clear that the outfielder is well on pace to live up to his gaudy contract extension.
