The rookie did bring in a run during the bottom of the ninth inning for his first career RBI that would eventually help the Sox send the game into extras, but they ultimately lost 10-8 in 11 innings.
After being taken in the second round of the 2022 MLB Draft, Anthony received his first Fenway standing ovation as he went up to his first at-bat.
Unfortunately for him, it ended with a flyout to left field.
Boston started Anthony out in Single-A ball for the Salem Red Sox and, in 10 games, he batted a disappointing .189 and was sent down to rookie ball for another 10 games - where he smacked a stellar .429 average.
During his 2023 campaign in the minors, Anthony struggled in Single-A yet again - hitting .228 with just one home run in 158 at-bats. But Anthony was still called up the A+ squad (Greenville Drive) and seemed to find his flow.
After slashing .294/.412/.569 in A+ ball with 12 homers and 38 RBI in 204 at-bats, he eventually made his way to Double-A (Portland Sea Dogs) for the remainder of the year, where he posted an incredible .343 average with a 1.020 OPS.
Then, in 2024, Anthony blossomed into the best prospect in baseball.
Following his weird trend of doing better with each level he was called up to, Anthony slashed .269/.367/.489 in Double-A with 15 homers, 45 RBI, and 16 stolen bases in 84 games - leading to his call up to Boston's Triple-A affiliate, the Worcester Red Sox, where he hit the ball even better.
Anthony finished the 2024 year in Triple-A slashing .344/.463/.519.
Fast forward to this season as Anthony had remained strictly in Triple-A, he hit .288 with a .423 on-base percentage, 10 home runs, and 29 RBI in 212 at-bats - walking 51 times to his 56 strikeouts.
