'He's a star,' said Los Angeles Angels center fielder Mike Trout. 'There's no way else to put it.'

Anderson has spent his entire big-league career at shortstop. DeRosa said he first discussed the option of playing second with Anderson when he was named to the team “just because of his ability to hit left-handed pitching.”He might have been at a new position, but Anderson was playing behind a familiar pitcher with Sox teammate Lance Lynn starting.

Lance Lynn throws against Canada during the first inning of a World Baseball Classic game in Phoenix on March 13, 2023. Anderson drove in a run with a triple to right-center in the second, and Turner hit a solo homer later in the inning. Those hits came against right-handed reliever R.J.
