Scouting Report: Romeo Sanabria
San Diego Padres | 1B
Overall
Summary
Roman Anthony, 22-year-old Red Sox outfielder, suffered a right wrist/hand ligament sprain on May 4, 2026 during a game against Detroit. Initially placed on the 10-day IL with hopes of quick return, Anthony experienced a significant setback on May 18 when he felt soreness during rehab swings, forcing the team to halt batting activities. X-rays came back negative but MRI was recommended. The injury has delayed his return into late May/early June. Anthony had an impressive rookie debut (.292/.396/.463) but has struggled in 2026 (.229/.354/.321) prior to injury. Despite slow offensive numbers, advanced metrics show elite bat speed and exit velocity, though he's experiencing decreased pulled air contact and increased pulled groundballs, limiting power production.
Strengths
- Elite bat speed and exit velocity metrics
- Increased walk rate compared to rookie year
