This week, Giancarlo Stanton got angry. You wouldn’t like Giancarlo Stanton when he’s angry. The Marlins slugger showed up not once, but twice this week, including tying his record-long blast this season.
1. Giancarlo Stanton vs Carlos Martinez, 484 feet (June 23rd)
The word you’re looking for here is “majestic”. What a titanic, laser beam home run from Giancarlo.
2. Salvador Perez vs Rick Porcello, 461 feet (June 20th)
Into the fountains? Into the fountains! Hell yes! Salvy Perez isn’t necessarily known for his power, but this will do.
3. David Ortiz vs Chris Young, 456 feet (June 21st)
Anything into the right field seats at Kauffman is a blast, and that’s exactly what Ortiz did here. 80 grade pimpjob too…
4. Welington Castillo vs Kyle Kendrick, 451 feet (June 23rd)
This homer gets the Coors Field asterisk, but anything into the shrubbery at Coors is a bomb.
5. Giancarlo Stanton vs Jaime Garcia, 448 feet (June 24th)
Dead center. This is about par for the course for Giancarlo nowadays.
