Red Sox' Alex Bregman reveals feat Roman Anthony has already accomplished that he hasn't
The post Red Sox' Alex Bregman reveals feat Roman Anthony has already accomplished that he hasn't appeared first on ClutchPoints.
For a team that enters today just one game below .500 and has taken three of four against its biggest rival, this surge of young talent is exactly the boost the Boston Red Sox needed.

The Red Sox are in the midst of a youth movement, and few rookies are generating more buzz than Roman Anthony. The 20-year-old outfielder, recently called up by the Red Sox, is already making waves — and earning the respect of established veterans.
Before Friday night's thrilling 2-1 walk-off win over the Yankees at Fenway Park, Alex Bregman offered high praise for his new teammate. In an article by MassLive's Christopher Smith, Bregman made it clear that Anthony is turning heads fast, even among the most experienced players in the clubhouse.
'I think he's gonna be one of the best hitters in all of baseball,' Bregman said.
'Obviously you can't judge somebody by three games, but he's already hit a ball 111 (mph exit velocity) in the big leagues. I don't think I've ever done that in my career.'
It's a remarkable early achievement for Anthony, who only made his debut a few days earlier. That kind of exit velocity places him among elite company — something even Bregman, a two-time All-Star and World Series champion, has yet to do. Moments like these fuel the excitement surrounding top-tier Red Sox prospects, and Anthony is quickly living up to the hype.

Beyond just the numbers, Anthony's poise at the plate and maturity in the clubhouse are drawing praise. He went hitless in his debut but still drove in a run and reached base — traits that reflect well on the development system and his adaptability to major league pitching.
The MLB rookie milestones keep coming for Anthony, who represents the promising future of a team working to stay competitive in a stacked AL East. With more performances like his recent ones, he may soon be the name Boston fans chant from the bleachers.

'Realistic' LAFC not as good as Chelsea
Los Angeles FC goalkeeper Hugo Lloris admits Chelsea are at a "different level" and that his side are the minnows of the group at the Club World Cup. The former Tottenham captain, now 38, will face English opposition again at the tournament in the United States at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta. Advertisement When asked about LAFC's prospects, after they won a play-off match against Mexican side Club America, he said: "We have nothing to lose, especially against an opponent like Chelsea. It will be hard, European clubs can do everything quicker. "We come here with a lot of humility. We just take it game by game. I cannot hide that the standard of the other opponents are higher than ours. Especially Chelsea, then Flamengo and Tunis is a competitive club in Africa. "Listen, we just want to come here to enjoy the competition, try to get the best result we can but we also have to be realistic, to compare an MLS game and a Club World Cup game is really hard." The former World Cup-winning goalkeeper with France added it isn't just European clubs that have player workload concerns with the addition of another competition, adding: "To be honest with you, when I came to the MLS, I expected a rhythm of games less intense than in Europe but then you realise you travel a lot. Advertisement "Everywhere is the same, there are a lot of competitions and players have to adapt to the schedule. "For us, as soon as we finish the tournament, we have to go back to a routine of the MLS games which is not easy either. I am not here to question the schedule. I am just here to tell you we are enjoying being here and to do our best." Lloris also said the match has no special significance as a former Spurs player but that he still "follows the news" about the club, and saw that manager Ange Postecoglou was sacked despite winning the Europa League and was replaced by former Brentford boss Thomas Frank last week. He added: "Nothing surprises me in football. But I don't know what happened inside the club so it really hard for me to judge. If they made this decision it is because they believe there is another option which is better for the future of the club. Advertisement "Thomas Frank did amazing job at Brentford. But Postecoglou deserves a lot of credit, the players as well, it is not easy to win that kind of competition "What Ange Postecoglou did was just remarkable. He brought this Europa League trophy, he brought a lot of joy to the Spurs community, a lot of pride as well and we all have to be thankful for that."
