Anthony's Sophomore Slump Deepens vs. Astros

Anthony entered the 2026 season with high expectations after a dominant World Baseball Classic and a strong rookie campaign. He has gone 1‑17 with 10 strikeouts in his last four games, including a 0‑4, four‑strikeout outing against Houston.

The 21‑year‑old has been hitless in his last 14 at‑bats with nine strikeouts, but analysts say his talent remains and he may rebound once the league adjusts to him.
