It’s been a pretty remarkable season for Miami Marlins slugger Giancarlo Stanton.
He’s been baseball’s hottest hitter since the All-Star break and has propelled himself into some pretty elite company.
What’s interesting is that Stanton’s success at the plate has directly translated to his team as the Marlins are enjoying one hell of a turnaround.
Miami was 13 games below .500 in late May and the season appeared to be a lost cause.
With Stanton leading the charge, the Marlins have climbed all the way back to .500 and are right in the thick of the National League playoff race with almost six weeks of the season still remaining.
