A major factor in their resurgence was the emergence of rookie left-handed slugger Roman Anthony. His impact was undeniable. The Red Sox went 45\u201346 without him in the lineup and 44\u201327 in the 71 games he played. As a result, Boston signed Anthony to an eight-year, $130 million contract extension, securing his place in the organization\u2019s long-term plans.<\/p>\n<p>Anthony posted a .292 batting average, a .396 on-base percentage and an .859 OPS, along with eight home runs and 32 RBIs. His breakout campaign was cut short by a left oblique strain that sidelined him for the final month of the regular season and the playoffs. Without him, the Red Sox fell to the New York Yankees in the AL Wild Card round, losing the best-of-three series in three games.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<figure>\n<div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/ny\/api\/res\/1.2\/BnqtOeyxk_Nm8D5z4GT8bw--\/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MDtoPTY0MDtjZj13ZWJw\/https:\/\/media.zenfs.com\/en\/athlon_sports_articles_610\/9b560ae939c5deaae02eedae0a9eb5bc\" alt=\"Roman Anthony Award News Emerges After First Season With Red Sox\" width=\"960\" height=\"640\" data-nimg=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n<p><dialog aria-label=\"Image Lightbox\" aria-modal=\"true\"><\/dialog><\/div><figcaption>Boston Red Sox outfielder Roman Anthony (19)\u00a9 Eric Hartline-Imagn Images<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Despite the early exit, Anthony\u2019s rookie season offered a glimpse of the future in Boston and solidified his role as a foundational piece moving forward.<\/p>\n<p>On Tuesday, Anthony was named as a finalist for the American League Rookie of the Year Award, joining Jacob Wilson and Nick Kurtz of the Athletics. The recognition is especially impressive considering Anthony played just 71 games in his debut season.<\/p>\n<p>The Red Sox celebrated the announcement, congratulating the emerging face of the franchise. \u201cJust the beginning. Roman Anthony has been named a finalist for AL Rookie of the Year!\u201d Boston wrote on X.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p>Anthony was selected in the second round of the 2022 MLB Draft and quickly rose through Boston\u2019s farm system. Among the club\u2019s promising young core, which includes Marcelo Mayer, Wilyer Abreu and Ceddanne Rafaela, Anthony has emerged as the most impactful talent at the big-league level. His advanced approach at the plate and smooth left-handed swing has drawn comparisons to some of the game\u2019s top young stars.<\/p>\n<p>Anthony\u2019s poise and production at just 21 years old have made him a fan favorite in Boston. He showed maturity beyond his years, often delivering in high-pressure spots and earning the trust of coaches and teammates. With a full offseason to recover and prepare, expectations are high for Anthony to take another leap in his sophomore campaign.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related: Red Sox Make Alex Bregman Award Announcement on Thursday<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><i>This story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on Nov 4, 2025, where it first appeared in the MLB section.
