"Roman Anthony spent two-plus months unnecessarily stuck in the minor leagues, two-plus months as one of the best hitters on the planet, and the most important month on the shelf with an oblique injury. Anthony was a bit slow out of the gate in his first 15 games. Then, from June 27th until his season-ending injury on September 2nd, Anthony was, without hyperbole, one of the best hitters in Major League Baseball."
"Defensively, Anthony more than held his own, playing 36 games in right field and 19 games in left field, while DHing for 18 games. He was tied for 26th out of 118 outfielders (min: 400 Inn.) in the Defensive Runs Saved metric at +7. On Statcast, Anthony was +6 in Outs Above Average, which placed him 22nd of 145 outfielders (Min: 75 attempts)."
Roman Anthony missed two-plus months in the minors, then produced elite offensive results from June 27 to September 2. Over 56 games and 248 plate appearances, he hit .329 with a .419 OBP and a 158 wRC+, contributing 43 runs and 16 doubles while the Red Sox went 38-20 in that span. Anthony played 36 games in right field, 19 in left, and DHed 18 times, posting +7 DRS and +6 OAA. The Red Sox signed him to an eight-year, $130 million deal covering 2026–2033 with a 2034 club option and award escalators. An oblique injury ended his season and the team played .500 (11-11) after his exit.
