Top Red Sox prospect Roman Anthony wows with 497-foot slam

Boston Red Sox fans hold out hope as top prospect Roman Anthony continues his impressive college pitching career. Anthony, ranked No. 1 by ESPN among prospects, hit a historic 497-foot grand slam during Triple-A Worcester's game against Rochester, extending his major league-leading home run streak and setting a new season record with the longest minor league homer in history. The pitch, clocked at 91.1 mph from Carlos Romero, outstripped any major leaguer this season according to Statcast, with only Mike Trout's 484-footer in April matching its length. Anthony, a second-round draft pick of the Red Sox, is batting .290 with 10 home runs and 29 RBIs in just 57 games so far this season.
