According to multiple sources,<\/a><\/strong><\/em> Rising MLB star Roman Anthony USA<\/strong> has officially earned a spot on the Team USA<\/strong> roster for the 2026 World Baseball Classic (WBC), marking a major step in the young outfielder\u2019s professional career. The 21-year-old Boston Red Sox standout will represent the United States in the international tournament, bringing his energy, skill, and MLB experience to a star-studded roster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anthony was called up as an injury replacement for Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Corbin Carroll, who is sidelined with a broken right hand.

Since making his Major League debut on June 9, 2025, Anthony has impressed with his consistent offensive production. Over 71 games, he hit .292 with eight home runs, 18 doubles, and 32 RBIs, proving himself as a reliable and versatile player for the Boston Red Sox. His ability to perform under pressure makes him a valuable addition to the U.S. squad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Team USA, managed by Mark DeRosa, includes stars like captain Aaron Judge, Bryce Harper, Cal Raleigh, Kyle Schwarber, Bobby Witt Jr., and Alex Bregman. With Roman Anthony USA<\/strong> joining this lineup, the team gains a young, dynamic outfielder capable of influencing games both offensively and defensively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 2026 World Baseball Classic runs from March 5 to March 17 and will feature 20 national teams competing for the international title. Team USA won the tournament in 2017 and finished as runner-up in 2023, narrowly losing to defending champions Japan. Fans are eager to see how Anthony contributes to the team\u2019s pursuit of gold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
