Giancarlo Stanton made his New York Yankees debut in incredible fashion, absolutely mashing two home runs and leading the team to its first win of the season. The best part though? The first home run Stanton hit was the hardest hit ball to the opposite field ever tracked by Statcast. I’m going to go out on a limb and say that’s a pretty fantastic first at-bat for his new team.
The opposite-field approach doesn’t really matter much when he’s squaring the ball up like that but it’s great to see that he wants to take full advantage of the short porch in right field in the Bronx.
