It’s no secret that Giancarlo Stanton has struggled mightily since his return from the injured list in late August. He has looked visibly lost in the box at times, and hasn’t been close to the hitter he was prior to this stretch. As it stands now, Stanton would be in the midst of the worst (still a 110 wRC+) offensive season of any length he’s put up over the course of his major league career. Fastballs in particular* have been giving him fits, really for most of this season, and has looked especially lost against them in this recent slump.
