Roman Anthony's sister has spoken out after going viral during his debut and gaining thousands of followers overnight.

BOSTON — The Red Sox lost some first base depth Friday as Ryan Noda was claimed off waivers by the White Sox. Boston designated Noda, a 29-year-old first baseman/outfielder, for assignment Monday to make room on the 40-man roster for top prospect Roman Anthony.

Roman Anthony, the No.1 MLB prospect and recent Boston Red Sox callup, was a heartbreaker in the Florida high school playoffs not so long ago.

Anthony received the biggest cheer of all during pregame introductions and then a standing ovation when he came to bat in the second inning.

For some, it might seem that Kristian Campbell, Marcelo Mayer and Roman Anthony have cleared the highest hurdle in their baseball journeys — making the leap between Worcester and the parent club in Boston.
