red sox s roman anthony ranked no 2 rookie on new list nesn

The Boston Red Sox hit the jackpot with Roman Anthony, but not everyone thinks Anthony is the best rookie in Major League Baseball. On Tuesday, Anthony landed at No. 2 on a new list that ranked each team’s best rookie. Anthony entered Tuesday with sparkling numbers for a guy who hasn’t been in the big leagues for three months: .289/ .397/ .466 with eight home runs and a 140 OPS+ in 295 plate appearances... Bleacher Report’s Joel Reuter wrote a glowing review of Anthony while ranking the outfielder in the No. 2 spot behind Nick Kurtz of the Athletics.

“This is what a hyped prospect emerging as a star while his rookie season unfolds looks like, folks,” Reuter wrote. “Roman Anthony began the season as the No. 1 prospect in baseball, and the 21-year-old has transformed the Red Sox offense since taking over as the team’s primary leadoff hitter.” “He might still be a long shot in the AL Rookie of the Year race, but it’s entirely possible Anthony ends up being the best player from the 2025 rookie class by a wide...

Meet Howard, an 11-and-a-half-month-old Labrador Retriever and Boxer mix puppy who is searching for his happily ever after in life. Great Dog Rescue New England (GDRNE), a dedicated foster-based dog rescue in Massachusetts, recently introduced Howard after he came into their care. Though the reasons for his needing to be saved were not given on his profile, Howard has nevertheless ended up at a loving foster home, where he can patiently wait for the next chapter... Boston Red Sox rookie Roman Anthony has been a breakout star for the franchise, and he’s gonna be there for a long time. He really lived up to being the No. 1 overall prospect in baseball, and is helping his team win games.

His breakout hasn’t gone unnoticed either, as Bleacher Report’s Joel Reuter has him ranked as the second best rookie in all of baseball.

This season, Anthony is slashing .291/.397/.465/.862 with eight home runs and 31 RBI in 70 games.

In the past month, he’s slashing .304/.390/.520/.910 with six of his eight home runs. Boston Red Sox star Roman Anthony never had a realistic shot to win American League Rookie of the Year, but he definitely was in the mix to finish second. On Monday, Athletics slugging first baseman Nick Kurtz was deservingly named the Rookie of the Year after clubbing 36 home runs and posting a gaudy 1.002 OPS in 114 games. The real race, though, was between A's teammate Jacob Wilson and Anthony for second place. When the votes were totaled, Wilson gathered 23 of the 30 possible second-place votes, and Anthony got just three. He outpaced Anthony 107 to 72 in total voting points and cruised to the second-place selection.

Top-two finishes in Rookie of the Year voting have come to mean more in the last few seasons because players can earn full years of service time by achieving them. But for Anthony, who signed an eight-year, $130 million extension in August, the third-place spot meant something else entirely. As Boston Globe reporter Tim Healey pointed out after the voting results came in, Anthony lost out on at least $3 million by finishing in third place, because of how his contract is structured.

The Red Sox will be hoping Wednesday’s Cy Young Award vote goes better for star pitcher Garrett Crochet than Monday’s American League Rookie of the Year Award vote went for outfielder Roman Anthony.

Anthony finished third for the award behind a pair of Athletics, first baseman Nick Kurtz and shortstop Jacob Wilson. Kurtz won the award unanimously. Kurtz was seen as a frontrunner for the award for the majority of the season after one of the best rookie years in recent MLB history. He ended with a .290 batting average, 36 HRs and 86 RBIs. Roman Anthony only appeared in 71 big league games this past season, but his performance over that small sample was still almost enough to net him some impressive hardware. Anthony finished third in the American League Rookie of the Year vote, which was announced by Major League Baseball and the Baseball Writers Association of America on Monday night.

Athletics slugger Nick Kurtz won the award unanimously after leading all rookies with 36 home runs and earning Silver Slugger honors, and Athletics teammate Jacob Wilson finished second. Anthony earned three second-place votes, 15 third-place votes and had 72 points overall to finish third in the vote. Wilson won 23 second-place votes to tally 107 points. Red Sox catcher Carlos Narvaez also earned Rookie of the Year consideration, finishing sixth overall after earning two third-place votes, three fourth-place votes and three fifth-place votes for 21 points total. Few things excite a fanbase like a rookie taking the league by storm. Roman Anthony is a prime example—he's provided a huge spark to the Boston Red Sox during the second half of the season.

Not every team has a high-profile newcomer, but all 30 clubs have at least one rookie making his mark at the big league level. Ahead, we started by choosing each team's top rookie of the 2025 season, based solely on their performance this year and ignoring things like long-term upside and future projection. Then, we ranked each of those rookies 1-30 for our full ranking of every MLB team's best rookie in 2025. .css-1582m2i{margin:0;font:inherit;font-weight:700;}Hitters The Boston Red Sox were recently dealt a tough blow when Roman Anthony suffered an oblique strain and was placed on the injured list. Sadly, Anthony's season is over.

He entered the 2025 season as the Red Sox's top prospect and he made his Major League debut after a spot was cleared for him thanks to the Rafael Devers trade. It didn't take long for Anthony to make his presence known at the big-league level, and he even claimed a starting outfield job for the team as they made a push towards a postseason... Jim Bowden of The Athletic recently ranked his top 10 rookies of the 2025 season with three weeks remaining on the regular season calendar. Anthony was ranked No. 2 out of the 10 listed players. "Among the position player rookies on this list, Anthony, 21, has the best long-term outlook.

He has a keen eye at the plate and makes consistent loud, hard contact. He can flat-out mash fastballs, hitting .352 against them this season. The Red Sox smartly signed him to an eight-year, $130 million extension through 2033 with a club option for 2034. This deal will save the Red Sox millions of dollars if he lives up to my projections for his career," Bowden wrote. "Unfortunately, his regular season ended last week with a Grade 2 oblique strain that will keep him out four to six weeks. The Red Sox are hoping that if they make the playoffs, Anthony will have a chance of returning at some point in October."

Roman Anthony only has 52 major league games under his belt, but he’s impressed at the plate and on the field during that brief stretch. The Boston Red Sox rookie, who is baseball’s top prospect, has caught the attention of 33 MLB.com voters as they ranked their top-five rookies in the American and National League. Anthony came in at No. 3 with one first-place vote, two spots higher from the previous rankings. “It’s been a good couple of months for Anthony, who at 21 years old is demonstrating why he was ranked as the No. 1 prospect in the game by MLB Pipeline at the time of his debut with the Red Sox on June 9,” MLB.com’s Manny Randhawa wrote.

“He was awarded an eight-year, $130 million contract extension by Boston last week. He’s been particularly hot at the plate of late, slugging his third home run and upping his season OPS to .827 on Monday. It all adds up to a two-spot jump in our rankings.” After Anthony’s four-walk night against the Houston Astros that included a home run, the rookie is now batting .286 with four home runs, 23 RBI and has a .451 slugging percentage.
