Over the years, even when he was playing with the Miami Marlins before coming over to the New York Yankees via trade, Giancarlo Stanton has developed quite a reputation as the most powerful hitter in baseball.
After all, he did knock 59 balls out of the park in 2017, his last season with the fish. However, the most impressive part of the narrative is, without a doubt, the exit velocity readings on some of his batted balls.
The Yankees’ outfielder owns the hardest hit ball in the Statcast era with 123.9 miles per hour (a groundball), and he also hit the hardest home run at 121.
