UPDATE: I was right about Roman Anthony (kind of)
Photo by Michael Reaves/Getty ImagesI’ll make this short and sweet, because this prediction was so obvious at the time that I’m not even all that proud of it. On June 24, I wrote that not only was Roman Anthony about to break out, but that I believed he was the best hitter on the Red Sox (though there was an Alex Bregman injury caveat applied to the latter assertion). At that time, Anthony was hitting .128/.308/.256 with 2 doubles and 1 homer through the first 13 games of his career.
Since June 24, Anthony has put up a slash line of .329/.409/.476 and cobbled together a 10-game hit streak. The breakout happened, obviously.
