Roman Anthony Emerges as Premier Hitter, Set for Team USA WBC Role

Red Sox outfielder Roman Anthony, 21, is rapidly establishing himself as one of baseball's premier left-handed hitters. He delivered on rookie hype last season before an oblique strain ended his campaign in September, and his role atop the lineup is now more critical after Alex Bregman's departure. Anthony, who recently received a nine-figure extension, is currently gearing up to play left field for Team USA in the World Baseball Classic.
