Red Sox’s Roman Anthony Unleashes Record-Breaking 497-Foot Grand Slam—Could This Be Baseball’s Longest Home Run Ever?
Roman Anthony has been turning heads all season, but on Saturday, he made one heck of a statement that even the toughest skeptics can’t ignore. The Boston Red Sox’s top prospect—yes, the No. 1 overall pick according to Baseball America and MLB Pipeline—sent a baseball on a journey that left jaws on the floor in Triple-A. Picture this: in the eighth inning for the Worcester Red Sox against Rochester, Anthony unleashed a mammoth grand slam soaring an eye-popping 497 feet, with a blazing exit velocity of 115.6 mph. That’s not just the longest homer this year across all affiliated baseball; it’s the kind of blast that etches itself into the history books as one of the longest since Statcast began keeping track back in 2015. Considering legends like Mike Trout and Aaron Judge haven’t matched this distance, it’s safe to say the kid’s got something special cooking. And no surprise here—the WooSox rolled to a 10-4 win fueled by that very swing. If you thought the talk around Roman Anthony was hot before, well, this explosion just cranked the heat way up.
Boston Red Sox minor leaguer Roman Anthony is the No. 1 overall prospect in baseball, according to both Baseball America and MLB Pipeline. He provided a very good explanation why on Saturday in Triple-A.
