There’s a caveat on my Jasson Dominguez fantasy, the place I stated he was the highest 2025 fantasy baseball rookie for redraft leagues. There’s an enormous caveat, ACKSUALLY. Roman Anthony breaks camp and he is likely to be 1A or 1B to Jasson Dominguez, who turns into 1B or 1A or possibly they’re each 1D, and there’s no 1C. Or they develop into two and the man I am going over within the subsequent put up turns into one. Confused but? Identical! I.e., we’ve got a toss-up for the highest rookie, folx! I really like Roman Anthony. I’m about to begin calling him Get Roman due to how excited he makes me. Bear in mind the Get Roman commercials? Yeah, they have been for boner tablets. Wink-wink-nudge-nudge-kazoo! Get Roman is as soon as once more giving me the enthralls underneath the overalls. By the way in which, no matter occurred to Get Roman? I keep in mind the creepy commercials with a father and son speaking about boner tablets, then–Really, don’t inform me, I don’t wish to know. Get this, Roman Anthony offers the identical feels as Get Roman. How about he get roaming within the Pink Sox outfield? Corny? Extra like attractive! He’s an au naturale Get Roman and I’m horned up! You may be too by the point I get finished with this put up, I promise you. Jasson Dominguez seems like a a lot safer high rookie name, however Roman Anthony’s upside won’t be knowable. We’d by no means know. It is likely to be our, “I put two socks in my laundry and just one comes again. The place does the opposite sock go” of fantasy rookies. The Pink Sox have The Lacking Sock. That’s his nickname now, too. He hasn’t even been within the majors but and he already has two nicknames, Get Roman and The Lacking Sock. So, what can we anticipate from Roman Anthony for 2025 fantasy baseball?
First, a number of highlights to acquaint thyself:

This previous yr within the minors, Roman Anthony went 18/21 in 454 ABs mixed between Double and Triple-A, and he hit .344 in Triple-A’s 131 ABs with precisely 31 BBs and 31 Ks for a 18.9% stroll and strikeout fee. As a 20-year-old! Throw within the goofy left subject monster in Fenway, and he may hit .300 his rookie yr with a 25/20 season. I’m about to faint from ideas of Get Roman. The place’s all of the blood speeding to? Oh my God, I’ve to carry a textbook in entrance of me. Get Roman is an excessive amount of! I would like to sit down down however I can’t! My pants are bunching!
To offer you an excellent random comparability, you recognize who Roman Anthony jogs my memory of? Cody Bellinger. His pace is there, however lesser so than his energy. Simply please don’t forearm bash anybody, Roman. Please. My largest query mark is does Roman Anthony break camp with the Pink Sox so that they discover their Lacking Sock? I don’t know. My guess is not any, which sucks, Sox. I requested a Pink Sox particular person and he gave him round a 40% likelihood of breaking camp, which tracks with what I’m pondering. All of this might completely change although by March. Shoot, it may change by December. The Pink Sox want to maneuver on from some guys to clear room for Anthony. Wilyer is traded for pitching? Then Roman Anthony is slotted into the outfield. If it’s an excellent early draft, I say draft Anthony to see if The Lacking Sock can sneak in. He’ll completely be within the operating for a job, and might be the highest 2025 fantasy baseball rookie. For 2025, I’ll give Roman Anthony projections of 44/12/41/.266/16 in 327 ABs with an opportunity for far more.
