Anthony's Revenge: From Injury to Team USA Star
4 Mar
Summary
- Anthony overcame an oblique injury to become Team USA's youngest player.
- He signed an eight-year, $130 million contract extension with the Red Sox.
- Anthony is focusing on injury prevention and defensive improvement.

Roman Anthony, the youngest player on the elite Team USA squad, is demonstrating why he's received significant hype. After an oblique injury ended his promising rookie season prematurely on September 2, he underwent a six-week rehabilitation program in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. This experience taught him the importance of rigorous body maintenance for a full MLB season.
Anthony has implemented a new daily routine emphasizing rotational work to strengthen his core and prevent re-injury. He is also diligently improving his defensive play, aiming to shed his reputation as an average outfielder. These efforts come after he signed an eight-year, $130 million contract extension.
His dedication is evident as he prepares for the WBC alongside seasoned veterans. Manager Alex Cora believes this immersion will be invaluable for Anthony's development. Recently, Anthony hit a two-run homer in an exhibition game for Team USA, showing he is ready for the tournament's challenges.
