When Giancarlo Stanton was brought to the Bronx in the biggest trade of the offseason, many salivated at the thought of baseball’s home run leader spraying titanic blasts into the seats of hitter-friendly Yankee Stadium. So far, Stanton hasn’t made the Bronx his personal playground for monster home runs, and has seen the majority of his 2018 success come on the road.
In 2018, Stanton has a wRC+ of 83 at Yankee Stadium, compared to 152 in opposing ballparks. The Yankees are stacked with right-handed power, with Stanton perhaps being the greatest threat. In the Bronx, however, his power numbers have been somewhat subdued.
