Giancarlo Stanton is having his best season with the New York Yankees this year since coming to the team in 2018, wearing his powerful bat and playing defense for the first time in a long time, being a very important part of the team’s winning streak recently heading into the postseason of MLB and according to them, in the championship of the Eastern Division of the American League.
On Friday against the Oakland Athletics, Stanton hit a monstrous quadrangular that traveled 472 feet (144 meters) and came out of his bat at an impressive speed of 112 miles per hour (180 km / h), being key to get a win from his amazing streak by winning 13 games in a row.
The truth is that we are all witnesses to the strength that Stanton has with the wood in his hands, but maybe Giancarlo went a little “threaded” with the ball, as he literally destroyed it with the bat, according to the photo that a fan shares then catches the ball from the Yankees’ home run.
According to MLB.com’s Sarah Langs, it’s Stanton’s ninth home run traveling more than 470 feet away since implementing Statcast in 2015, with no one taking more than 4 of those home runs in his career.
