Red Sox rookie Roman Anthony reveals immediate reaction to MLB call-up
The post Red Sox rookie Roman Anthony reveals immediate reaction to MLB call-up appeared first on ClutchPoints. Boston Red Sox star prospect Roman Anthony made his MLB debut on Monday against the Tampa Bay Rays. While Anthony went hitless in his much-anticipated first game, a 10-8 loss in 11 innings, he did record an RBI groundout. Advertisement Before going 0-for-4 at the plate in the loss, the 21-year-old Anthony spoke about how he learned of his call-up to the majors, per ESPN. 'I didn't really think anything of it, to be honest. I was just kind of waiting around in the food room with a few of the guys, and then all of a sudden, he came out and just said, 'Hey, you're going to the big leagues,'' Anthony said. 'From there on out it's kind of been a little bit of a blur. But it was amazing. You dream of that every single day. So, to finally hear it was definitely awesome.' With the Red Sox struggling this season, fans and media had been clamoring for Anthony to finally get called up. The hope is that MLB's top prospect will spark a turnaround in Boston. He recently made waves with a 497-foot grand slam in Triple-A. Anthony wasn't able to lead the Red Sox to a win on Monday night, but the Fenway Park faithful gave him a loud pop in his first at-bat. His first outing was a bit of a roller-coaster ride, with some hard contact that didn't result in any hits and a misplay in the field that led to an unearned run. Advertisement But this is just the beginning for Roman Anthony, and he's excited to get his opportunity after Wilyer Abreu's injury facilitated the call-up. Boston already called up fellow star prospects Kristian Campbell and Marcelo Mayer earlier this season. The Red Sox dropped to 32-36 on the season after Monday's loss, which is nine games behind the first-place New York Yankees and 4.5 games out in the AL Wild Card race.

Roman Anthony's instant reaction to 1st career hit, RBI vs. Rays
The post Roman Anthony's instant reaction to 1st career hit, RBI vs. Rays appeared first on ClutchPoints. Roman Anthony didn't waste any time putting his stamp on the big leagues. After an 0-for-4 debut on Monday, the top prospect in baseball delivered in the clutch Tuesday night, ripping a two-run double in his first at-bat to spark the Boston Red Sox to a 3-1 win over the Tampa Bay Rays at Fenway Park. The 21-year-old came to the plate in the bottom of the first with runners on second and third and two outs. Down 1-2 in the count, Anthony stayed poised and reached out to connect with a changeup well outside the strike zone from Rays starter Ryan Pepiot. The left-handed hitter laced it down the left-field line, sending it 92.4 mph off the bat and into the corner for his first major league hit and a go-ahead two-run double. 'It means everything… they've believed in me every step of the way,' Anthony said about having his family in attendance for the milestone moment. His parents, seated near the Red Sox dugout, erupted with emotion as the ball rolled to the wall — his mom, Lori, visibly crying as her son stood at second base. Roman Anthony gets on the board with his first MLB, Red Sox hit and RBI David Butler II-Imagn Images That swing proved to be all the Red Sox needed. The two-run double gave Boston an early lead they never relinquished. Anthony, filling in for the injured Wilyer Abreu, also flashed the leather in right field, making a sliding grab in the sixth to help preserve the win. Advertisement In just his second MLB game, Anthony finished 1-for-4 with two RBIs and a strikeout, showing both the poise and promise that made him the game's most hyped prospect. He became the latest Red Sox rookie to make a splash in a year where Boston is looking for a spark. 'It's been a long time coming,' one teammate was heard saying in the dugout, echoing what fans and coaches have felt for weeks. Anthony's call-up came after a monster stretch in Triple-A Worcester, including a jaw-dropping 497-foot grand slam just days before his promotion — a blast longer than any MLB homer this season. His first big-league knock also came on one of the most challenging pitches a Red Sox hitter has turned into extra bases in recent years. According to Statcast, the ball was 1.30 feet outside the center of the plate, making it the furthest outside pitch to be driven for an extra-base hit by a Boston player since Rafael Devers did so on July 7, 2024. With the win, Boston improved to 33-36, still battling to climb out of the AL East cellar. If Anthony can build on Tuesday's performance, he may just be the spark the Red Sox lineup desperately needs. The moment belongs to him — and to the family who cheered him every step of the way.

At one point during the game, a video was taken of him chugging a beer in a large baseball bat-shaped cup as the crowd cheered. The video quickly made its way to social media, with fans at home sharing their reactions. Advertisement "Haha hell yeah," a fan said. "Well executed beer chug from the better Kelce," another wrote. "Mbit who's driving him home," added another. "Was it garage beer though?!!" one wrote. "JASONNN," said a fan. "I love that Jason's whole shtick is the retiree lifestyle. He's just having fun and hustling for side gigs. He was going to be a cattle farmer? What happened to the cattle btw?" one wrote. Kelce hasn't been shy about chugging beers at sporting events in front of a crowd. During his brother's 2024 NFL Divisional Playoff game against the Buffalo Bills, he was shown on CBS' broadcast sitting in a suite with his family, shirtless and yelling with a beer in hand. Advertisement Another video surfaced from that game, chugging the beer with fans.
