Anthony has been tearing it up since July, and has been an amazing leadoff hitter and good fielder for the Sox. Manager Alex Cora believes so too, but he also had high praise for another part of Anthony’s game, something he didn’t even know Anthony had; baserunning.

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.

According to J.P. Long, the former Red Sox director of communications and media relations, Anthony matched an 86-year-old franchise record once held by Ted Williams. Long noted that Anthony's 82 times on base through his first 50 games were equal to the amount of times Williams reached base in the same sample size to begin his career.

Roman Anthony is just 21 years old, but he continues to etch his name in Red Sox history. On Tuesday, he did something only Ted Williams had done before in a Boston uniform.

The Red Sox had failed to score in 10th inning. With the automatic runner at second base, David Hamilton struck out when he fouled off a bunt attempt. Pinch hitter Romy Gonzalez flied out to center field. Ceddanne Rafaela grounded out after an intentional walk to Wilyer Abreu.

The Red Sox signed rookie phenom Roman Anthony to an eight-year, $130 million contract through 2033, spending some of the cash they saved by trading Rafael Devers away on a player they hope will be the centerpiece of the next generation of Boston stars.

Craig Breslow had high praise for Anthony’s impact on one of the more exciting Red Sox teams in the past few years.

Outfielder Roman Anthony and the Red Sox are in the process of finalizing an eight-year, $130 million contract extension, a source told MLB.com's Mark Feinsand on Wednesday. The extension would begin with the 2026 season and includes escalators that could bring the overall value up to $230 million.
