There aren’t many who can swing it like Joey Gallo. In recent Yankee history, I’m not sure there is a comparable swing. They’ve had their fair share of lefties with power, but those players were switch-hitters in Carlos Beltrán and Mark Teixeira, but none compares to the power of Gallo. The former Rangers All-Star has rediscovered his 2019 form this season after an off-year in 2020, and a swing change played a big role in his recovery.
My first thought in terms of pure swing comparison to Gallo is former Yankees first baseman, Jason Giambi. Let’s relive one of my favorite Giambi moments.
