Yankees’ Giancarlo Stanton reveals secret behind his .300

Every time Giancarlo Stanton has a couple of good at-bats, particularly when he lays off sliders out of the strike zone, I recall what a veteran scout told me in 2018 about the new muscleman in the Bronx.

“Stanton is not a good hitter,” the scout said. “He’s strong, he’s intimidating, but a smart pitcher will figure him out in no time.”
