It left his bat with a 104 mph exit velocity.<\/p>\n<p id=\"NKO3OZSBQ5ESTHLHTQSAX6ZVS4\">The rookie hit it in his seventh career big league game and 20th plate appearance. He connected on a 96.2 mph sinker from Seattle starting pitcher Logan Gilbert with the count even 2-2.<\/p>\n<p id=\"35OH4Y2IEFEXFCHMOHDYE5HEVI\">Per the Red Sox media relations department, Anthony (21 years, 34 days old) is the youngest Red Sox player to homer in a game since Rafael Devers back in 2017 (20 years old).<\/p>\n<p id=\"23HCYHHDF5C4LMJSVRSXZ64ACQ\">Devers ironically was traded to the San Francisco Giants in a shocking blockbuster deal Sunday.<\/p>\n<p id=\"JQGKVJIUFVEQPM6KLCOEB2VV5E\">Baseball America ranks Anthony the game\u2019s No. 1 prospect. Boston called him up from Triple-A Worcester on June 9 to take injured Wilyer Abreu\u2019s spot on the 26-man roster.<\/p>\n<section data-gaid=\":Rdnaq6:\">\n<ul data-testid=\"list\">\n<li>When might new Boston Red Sox pitcher from Rafael Devers trade join roster?<\/li>\n<li>Red Sox starter decided to turn his \u2018brain off\u2019 and \u2018rip it\u2019 in big spot<\/li>\n<li>Red Sox reactions: Rookie homers, Lucas Giolito K\u2019s 10 in post-Rafael Devers Era win<\/li>\n<li>Red Sox boss not \u2018waving the white flag\u2019 with Rafael Devers trade, expects aggressive trade deadline<\/li>\n<li>Alex Cora reacts to Boston Red Sox trading Rafael Devers, what went wrong<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>If you purchase a product or register for an account through a link on our site, we may receive compensation.
