Roman Anthony added to his case to be called up to the majors in the near future on Saturday.
The Red Sox’ top prospect hit a 497-foot home run in Triple-A Worcester’s 10-4 win over Rochester. Anthony’s home run, which was a grand slam, came in the eighth inning off right-handed reliever Carlos Romero. It’s the longest home run in affiliated baseball in the 2025 season, according to Statcast.
As Anthony’s homer traveled 497 feet at the WooSox’ Polar Park, the ball appeared to land over the street behind the right field bleachers. Anthony’s homer had an exit velocity of 115.
