He has a career batting average of .268 with 14 home runs and 101 RBI. In 2008 Anthony hit .258 with eight home runs and 52 RBI. He also finished third in the league with 29 doubles.

In 2006 Anthony graduated from Florida Atlantic University. Anthony Graduated from Bro. Rice High School where he excelled on the Baseball team.
