Roman Anthony has significantly improved his hitting since June 24, achieving a slash line of .329/.409/.476 and a 10-game hitting streak. He leads the Red Sox in batting average, on-base percentage, hits, doubles, and hard-hit percentage. Despite these leading stats, he ranks fifth in overall offensive metrics such as OPS, wOBA, and wRC+. Additionally, teammates Ceddanne Rafaela, Wilyer Abreu, and Jarren Duran are also performing well, suggesting that while Anthony is excelling, his status as the best hitter is not definitively established.
Since June 24, Anthony has put up a slash line of .329/.409/.476 and cobbled together a 10-game hit streak.
His .329 batting average leads the team, as does his .409 OBP, his 27 hits, his 9 doubles, and his 62.7% hard hit percentage.
Despite leading the team in two of the three slash line categories, it's far from definitive that Anthony has actually been the best hitter on the Red Sox since June 24.
During that span he's just fifth in OPS, wOBA, and wRC+, all of which purport to tell a wholistic story of offensive production.
