Anthony's Arm: New Coach, Old Strength

0:00On May 1st, early in the season, Boston Red Sox prospect and Red Sox prospect Roman Anthony drew heat for shaky throws from the outfield. Then the team fired outfield instructor and third base coach Kyle Hudson. Just days later, the 21-year-old Anthony bounced back strong after a short back injury layoff, nailing assists to second base from deep in. Left field and even gunning down a runner at home in consecutive gains. That timing raised eyebrows, but insiders say Hudson's exit tied more to his link with the recently dismissed manager Alex Cora than any coaching. Flaws. Still, Anthony looked locked in right away, showing the arm strength everyone knew he had. Anthony owned up to the early magnification of his mistakes, but stressed he kept grinding without fear. He gave Hudson high marks as a coach, suggesting some key pointers might have clicked along the way. Now Pablo Cabrera steps in as interim first base coach and outfield guy. He's no stranger, having run the organization's defense setup for infield and outfield before.
