It was becoming a tired narrative already: Giancarlo Stanton just hadn’t been the same in New York as he was in Miami. He hadn’t stayed healthy, his power numbers were down a little bit, and he’d had nary a signature moment in the postseason, when the Yankees needed him most. A $325 million bust, right?
Wrong.
It may have taken some time to get to this point, but Giancarlo Stanton is finally back as the most feared hitter in the Yankees’ lineup. Furthermore, there’s evidence to suggest that a key adjustment has fueled this success, and may be a sign that the best has yet to come of Stanton in pinstripes.
