Red Sox top prospect Roman Anthony gets ready for an at-bat during a WooSox game on April 13, 2025 at Polar Park. <\/span><\/div>\n<\/section>\n
\n

Roman Anthony, the top prospect in baseball, did something Saturday night that Aaron Judge never has done. Shohei Ohtani, neither.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

The 21-year-old Anthony, an outfielder in the Boston Red Sox farm system, launched a 497-foot home run for Triple-A Worcester. The grand slam was the longest home run hit this season in not only the minors, but in the majors, too.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

In fact, MLB.com reported that since 2015, only four players — all in the majors — have hit a home run that traveled farther than Anthony’s ball: Giancarlo Stanton, Christian Yelich, Nomar Mazara and C.J. Cron.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

The Worcester Red Sox were leading 5-4 at home against Triple-A Rochester when Anthony smashed the 91.1 mph sinker over the fence in right-center field.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

“That ball was murdered,” Worcester manager Chad Tracy told the local Telegram & Gazette.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

497 Feet!
115.6 MPH!<\/p>\n

\n

Before Anthony’s homer, the 484-foot homer belted by Mike Trout of the Los Angeles Angels on April 19 against the San Francisco Giants was the longest-hit ball of 2025.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

Red Sox fans are waiting eagerly for the Red Sox to call up Anthony. A second-round pick in the 2022 MLB Draft, Anthony is hitting .290 with 44 runs, 10 home runs and 29 RBIs over 57 games played.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

The WooSox beat Rochester 10-4.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n
