Yankees 2021 Roster Report Cards: Giancarlo Stanton

Giancarlo Stanton has often dealt with critics in his first couple seasons with the Yankees. Despite what those people may have said regarding striking out too much, whatever else, he never really should’ve gotten boos for his performance. When healthy from 2018-20, he put up a 132 OPS+. That not quite as good as his MVP heyday with the Marlins, but he was still very, very effective at the plate.

His problem so far in his Yankees career has mostly been health. After playing basically all of the 2018 season, he played just 18 regular season games in 2019 and appeared in less than half of the already shortened 2020 campaign.
