The Boston Red Sox decided to have Connelly Early start the season in the rotation, and he has been great so far.
Through four starts, Early has a 2.29 ERA, but his last outing was special. He went six innings in a game for the first time as a big leaguer. Even more impressive might be the fact that he found success at Target Field, a venue where some star pitchers have struggled recently. Early has just nine starts at the big league level, including last year's postseason.
However, this season, Roman Anthony has noticed that Early looks like a different pitcher. He has been great, and Anthony complimented him after his outing against the Minnesota Twins.
“He looks different out there,” Anthony told MassLive's Christopher Smith. “He looks just so calm always.”
“We saw what he did in his debut, and we saw how unfazed he was,” Anthony said. “He started in the postseason. It just looks different for a young guy like himself. He looks like he has 10 years.”
