"Anderson struck out the side in his first inning of work, got one more strikeout for a total of four, and only suffered a hit given up by a home run, finishing out 3 innings solidly."
"His fastball, albeit slow, topping out at 93 miles per hour, has 19 inches of vertical break, which means Andrew Bailey is no doubt drooling over it."
"I think it's fitting for Anderson to be in that multi-inning, low-leverage relief role, as that's what he was a majority of the time in Portland last year."
"In general, he tends to not give up many walks, period."
Jack Anderson, a 26-year-old pitcher, made his Major League debut for the Red Sox after being called up from Worcester. He struck out four batters in three innings, allowing only a home run. Drafted by the Tigers in 2021, he was acquired by the Red Sox through the Rule 5 draft. Anderson has primarily served as a multi-inning reliever in the minors, demonstrating good command and a low walk rate. His fastball, while not the fastest, has significant vertical break, making him an intriguing addition to the bullpen.
