In a sea of Yankees underperformance, however, Giancarlo Stanton’s unproductive bat has been particularly glaring.
The numbers have been poor, but hope has been found in the cracks — and the cracks of the bat. In recent weeks, Stanton had shown indications he was on the verge of breaking out, but a lot of hard contact had not yet turned into production.Jason Szenes / New York Post Right. During spring training, Boone stated a “massive season” could be in store for Stanton, who began the year with promise. He hit well in 13 games, with four home runs and an .854 OPS, before he strained his hamstring trying to reach second base. He returned about seven weeks later, but the results still had not followed.
Stanton, an exit-velocity god, has been consistently stinging the ball, but he entered the game with a .191 batting average on balls in play, which would have been the second-worst in baseball if he had logged enough at-bats to qualify.
