Roman Anthony and Marcelo Mayer are the darlings of the Boston Red Sox farm system at the moment.

But when the two highly rated prospects get promoted to the big leagues — presumably at some point this season — who will be the next can’t-miss prospect in the organization?

Look no further than Justin Gonzales.

Never heard of him, right? Not many have, but if things keep going the way they are that will change.

“Everyone is like, ‘Holy (expletive), who is that?’” Red Sox co-director of international scouting Todd Claus told The Boston Globe’s Alex Speier.

Gonzales is just an 18-year-old outfielder/first baseman who got promoted Tuesday to Low-A Salem after just one game in the Florida Coast League.

The Dominican Republic native stands at 6-foot-4 and 220 pounds while possessing tremendous power in his right-handed swing. According to Speier, he’s hit balls off the bat with 110 mph exit velocities and Red Sox assistant general manager Eddie Romero said Gonzales has “80 raw power” on the 20 to 80 scale.

Gonzales didn’t truly catch the Red Sox’s eye until a showcase in 2023 in Medellín, Columbia. That’s when he crushed multiple home runs and and was throwing from the outfield at 98 mph.

“I told (Romero), ‘I don’t know if this guy’s going to end up on the mound, but I want to pay to find out,’” Claus recalled. “‘I don’t know if this guy’s going to hit 30 home runs in the big leagues, or if he’s going to be a major league closer. I just know that he’s the biggest, strongest, fastest freak on the field, and we should take a shot at him.’”

The Red Sox signed Gonzales for $250,000 on the spot after Claus’ phone call to Romero.

Who knows if Gonzales, who is ranked as the 16th-best prospect for the Red Sox by MLB Pipeline, will ever pan out. He still has a very long way to go as he went 1-for-4 in his debut with Salem. But everyone who knows about Gonzales seems to agree, the potential is there for him.

“This kid is more physical than any player I’ve been around. He’s a monster. I think he’s still kind of learning what he can do physically, learning his body. And for a guy who’s so big and has so much power, his ability to control the bat is incredibly impressive,” Red Sox farm director Brian Abraham told Speier. “He’s been a much better hitter than maybe we had expected. That’s been really exciting.”
