New year, same old pop in Giancarlo Stanton’s bat.
The Yankees’ designated hitter and outfielder crushed a home run over the left-center field scoreboard and out of George M. Steinbrenner Field during a batting practice session on Thursday. The home run can be watched above, courtesy of NJ.com.
Although Stanton led the Yankees in home runs (38) and RBI (100) in 2018, the 29-year-old slugger experienced extremely hot and cold streaks at the plate throughout his entire first season in the Bronx.
“I’ve got one year in the division and the league under my belt, so things will be more comfortable in that aspect, facing some of these guys and teams again more often,’’ Stanton recently told reporters.
