Roman Anthony made his anticipated big-league debut in June, with the Red Sox outfielder arriving in Boston with plenty of lofty expectations as the top prospect in baseball.
But for all that hype, the 21-year-old rookie has seemingly exceeded expectations through his 53 games with the Red Sox.
How so? Putting himself in the same company as Ted Williams on a few Red Sox records is a good start.
Obviously, Anthony has a long way to go to come close to the offensive juggernaut that a baseball legend like Williams was.
But Anthony’s keen eye at the plate and advanced hitting approach at such a young age has allowed him to be put in rarefied air just a little two months into his big-league career.
