Giancarlo Stanton truly has a unique talent. No other player in baseball can consistently hit the ball with as much authority as him. As Yankees fans, we have been lucky to witness this talent firsthand since the 2018 season.
Stanton’s unique ability to punish the ball has manifested in some of the hardest hits and line-drive home runs. Since Statcast was made public at the outset of the 2015 campaign, Stanton has been in the 100th percentile each season. As for his average exit velocity, the 98th percentile is the lowest that Stanton has fallen in his career since 2015, according to Baseball Savant.
