Giancarlo Stanton remains a one-of-a-kind force in baseball. His elite exit velocity shows up in big moments and even in doubles, like the 117.8 mph shot against Boston, underscoring a rare combination of raw power and contact consistency. The data since 2015 places him far ahead of every other hitter, with 99 balls leaving the bat at 117 mph or faster. The Yankees lean on that unrivaled impact as they chase continued elite production as Stanton ages.
