Boston Red Sox star Roman Anthony is one of the most impressive young players in baseball, both on and off the field. He proved that last summer during his stellar rookie campaign, and he's proving it again during spring training.
WEEI's "The Greg Hill Show" visited Red Sox spring training in Fort Myers, Florida, last week and interviewed Anthony, who praised Boston sports fans and their passion for the team. He also spoke about how the Red Sox hold themselves to a high standard and expect to win the World Series this year.
On Monday morning, the radio hosts discussed how impressed they were with Anthony's poise, polish, modesty and maturity for a 21-year-old kid.
Happy March! Spring is close and that means Red Sox baseball!

"I'm so impressed with him. He may know what he's supposed to be or what everybody expects him to be, but he doesn't act like somebody who is reading his own headlines and is worried about anything other than the baseball team," Greg Hill said. "He's just unbelieveable, and he's only 21 years old, which is the amazing thing about it."
Hill's co-host and producer Chris Curtis agreed. "Honestly, it's insane," Curtis said.
After trading Rafael Devers last season and moving on from Alex Bregman in free agency, the Red Sox have made Anthony the face of their franchise. They rewarded him with a historic eight-year, $130 million contract extension last August, locking him up for most of the next decade just two months into his MLB career.
Anthony lived up to the hype last year, but time will tell if he can get even better and develop into a perennial All-Star and MVP candidate over the next few seasons. Based on his skills and how he handles himself, nobody would be surprised if he does.
