Stanton’s playoff run was magical man. His bat and Soto’s carried the Yankees to the World Series. It’s unfortunate for them that the Dodgers are monsters but so be it. There’s nothing to be ashamed of. Just go at it again next year
You better give Giancarlo the respect he deserves. He stole 1 base in the division series. He was basically Rickey Henderson on the basepaths against the Royals /s
If Stanton can stay healthy, I really look forward to watching him play these next few years. I have a feeling we're gonna see a lot of balls completely crushed by him. It's really cool seeing how hard he can hit the ball.
@@Mcbuggler Love to see it! He’s really been through quite a bit over the last few seasons. Plenty of adversity. Responded awesome with that postseason!
For those that love to hate on G, you better take a look at what he has accomplished. This man gives nothing but his heart and soul into what he loves. No, we didn't win the WS , but i look forward to seeing him next season and getting that ring that I know he is meant to have. Thank you G, for every part of yourself you have given in your career ❤️ ❤❤
Yeah...that was truly horrific to witness,.be it on television, but still, bad injury as he was bleeding profusely upon impact of ball....Lucky to be the player he is today after taking that pitch to the face.
I never saw how Stanton ran the bases until the recent World Series game against the dodgers. The way he approached home and got tagged out by Dodgers catcher Will Smith I thought I was watching him jogging in slow motion😂
I think him playing 3 sports while growing up is a big part of his success. Considering the health issues he has had as a pro, I don't think he would have made it this far into his career without having a career-ending injury if he had hyper focused on baseball by doing the "travel ball" circuit that most kids who are serious about baseball do today.
I am going to assume the third sport was basketball? I definitely agree with you Sport specialization is stupid and the more well-rounded You are the better you are if you ask me.
Alot of ppl can talk shit about Stanton but when the lights are the brightest and there is real pressure he shows up..is it worth hos contract I don't know whats a ring worth to a team? He is a real postseason monster
1:13 This reminds me of a time when I was in the 7th grade, playing Park League Baseball in Los Angeles, specifically in the West LA Fairfax District, at a park east of CBS Studios and the Farmers Market. This was back in 1984 or 85. After one of my games, I stuck around to watch another Pony League game over on the other end of tge park. I stood behind the home plate fence and witnessed this 6-foot 4 kid no older than 16 who crushed the ball so hard that it sailed over the 50-foot pine tree behind the 420-foot center field wall. I literally fell out of my cleats, laughing. 😂 This kid casually trotted around the bases like it was no big deal! He was high-five-ing his teammates and they all reacted nonchalantly to what just happened 😂 I’ve always wondered what happened to him. Did he make it to the Majors? Looking back, I realize that’s probably why about one-third of major league players hails from Southern California-we have some serious talent pools here. Why? Dunno. Great all-around weather?🤷♂️
As a Guardians fan, I'm now over the trauma enough to admit that his mere presence in the batting order is enough to antagonize the opposition. Even his batting stance is downright terrifying.
The worst thing about Stanton's injuries is that they are preventable, There is only so much you can do about joints to prevent injuries but muscles? Those you can keep from getting damaged. It's called stretching. My guess is that Stanton constantly lifts heavy and hardly ever if not never stretches (speaking of Martial Arts levels of stretching, not casual). Too many players have been doing this for years now and the result is hamstring, calf, and even oblique issues that don't have to happen.
He stole a base in the post-season lol. The Yankees should have waited one more year and signed Harper. Stanton unbalanced the lineup. New York needs lefthanded power. The moment they got Soto they changed and went to the World Series.
Talk about a bad contract, No team has wasted the amount of money the Yankees have on bad contracts,But they do have the most championships . They are gonna sign Juan Soto for some ridiculous amount and he will the new DH in about year or 2 years . Only the Yankees and Dodgers build their team around the DH . If the MLB owners would get rid of the DH and let pitchers hit they would save a fortune. Also we would get to see ohtani hig every fifth game and still get to see him pinch hit.
Great video, but to say Stanton was underachieving at the rate in which you implied in 2013 is a little misleading I think. Yea it was a down year, but he still had a 131 ops+ meaning he was a whole 31 percent better than your league average hitter. That's pretty damn good any way you slice it. I agree with the defense and injury part though. Love the vids though and that is such a minor thing. I just went to baseball reference to see how poor it was in 2013, and it was still a pretty damn good season all things considered.
also wouldn't a 69% sprint speed definitionally be above average for percentile rankings? 50 being average? that is 19% higher than league average sprint speed, I know your point was that he should've probably been playing the field in 2018 more often, and I agree, I just think the point would've been made even stronger if you had said he put up an even slightly above average, to a straight up above average sprint speed.
Stanton’s, power, strength, hand eye coordination to hit MLB pitching is very impressive. He was a totally different player years ago. look at his plate approach and swing. But he’s still doing it successfully. You guys claim he doesn’t play the field. What did your boy Ohtani do, sit the bench and come up to hit. I don’t see him pitching much longer So be prepared for him to turn into a Stanton for 700 mill.
I think the Dodgers are well aware of that. The revenue he generates for the team easily covers anything we might perceive as excessive. It is certainly why the Angels didn't trade him.
Apologies I forgot to clarify: His dad’s name is Mike Stanton. Giancarlo was named, “Giancarlo Cruz Michael Stanton”, and went by his middle name Mike. In 2012, he began going by his first name.. Giancarlo.
he really didnt destroy anyone. hitting a couple of home runs isnt destroying or dominating anyone. if anyone dominanted anyone the entire dodger team destroyed the entire league. staton isnt more than a slugging dh. not a superstar.
@@wonderemporium6094 career stats dont mean shit while they are still playing. only the current season matters. what players did multiple years ago doesnt fuckin matter today
Stanton has been instructed to not run as hard as he can, ultimately to run at half speed because the risk of injury is too great if he tries to run hard. Stanton is the least athletic player in the league, maybe ever. His approach at the plate is to swing as hard as possible just in case he makes contact. If not for Anthony Rendon Stanton would be the proud owner of the worst contract in baseball. Stanton is the very embodiment of everything that is wrong with how the Yankees have built their team = extremely unathletic, non versatile players with a lot of swing and miss under inflated long term contracts. Another Cashman and Steinbrenner fail.

@@torywoods5911 I completely agree
Nah the Yankees should be ashamed.
Yankees would've took it to game 6 if their defense didn't collapse
Stanton was what Judge wanted to be
Stanton even stole a base in the playoffs
You better give Giancarlo the respect he deserves. He stole 1 base in the division series. He was basically Rickey Henderson on the basepaths against the Royals /s
True 🙏😂

Should’ve mentioned him getting hit in the face by a fastball and having to end his season.

He should have never been put in that situation. He needs to go base to base
Giancarlo Stanton in doesn’t get paid to steel bases he gets paid to hit home runs

He was absolutely dominant this postseason.

U got my subscription brotha great vid keep it up
@@Genedangusrocks You’re a legend man 🙏 super glad to hear that!
I'm naming my first-born son Giancarlo
His issue is that when he plays amazing mostly is that the weather is warm . He’s a warm weather player yes they do exists lol
I have a feeling he’s gonna have a late career resurgence he gives that vibe
The soundtrack makes me feel like I am watching a crime documentary.

Had the Yanks won the WS, Stanton had my vote for him being named the MVP.
He was the only consistent hitter they had all post-season.
The commissioner of baseball is the one that broke it
Fair point
I miss him so much on the Marlins man… only reason why i’d go to the games 😢
Aye, now you have….. ummm Jake Burger to go watch!
Best one yet
🐐
Great video 🎉
Dude is made of glass
@@charred5516 🥳 very glad you like it!

Why sprint if the ball is in the crowd?

MY KING STANTON
😤😤😤
hey dont lie about stanton. he stole exactly one base in the postseason for seemingly no reason
Being strong doesn't make u athletic my dude... he is one of the least athletic people in baseball lol period
nah man he was avarege to below avarege with the fish running , his knees are completely demolished at this point tho
Someone as flawed? If yv won an mvp and have those kinda numbers i wouldnt say "flawed" is the word
basically the same "no bag" label Giannis is getting, one trick pony yet dominant
He stole a base in the ALDS this year.
Tigers would have won the world series if mlb didn’t hurt carps from the outfield sniper

one trick pony getting the job done

That is the price for being too tall
I think from watching the Angels as well as the Yankees, Stanton would prefer to play. Rendon? He just stands there and suffers injuries...
Stanton stole a base this year liar
he is not athletic, he is just strong. if her were actually athletic, he would be able to run.
He was recruited as a cb in high school if u ever touched a football field you’d know that a good cb is prolly the best athlete on the field
could u hit a 100 mph fastball?
Stanton is more athletic and stronger than you. He also can run faster than you
Quarterback? Wtf stanton could’ve been a TE dude is jacked
Cornerback* Exactly what I was thinking, would’ve been a beast
But the Astros never cheated in 2019 when he was actually on the Yankees
Lost me in the first minute. So keep up the crap ✌🏻

Yet he carried them to the World Series 😂
