Giancarlo Stanton powers Yankees to 8-0 rout over Padres
by Chris Schommer | Yankees Correspondent | Sat, May 25th 8:09am EDT
Giancarlo Stanton went 1-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in the Yankees' dominant win over the Padres.
Fantasy Impact:
His two-run shot contributed to the team's commanding victory, showcasing his power even amidst a season with a middling .246 batting average. Stanton's 13th homer of the season aligns with his known ability to change the game with one swing, but his high strikeout rate (.306) and low walk rate (.066) continue to be areas of concern for fantasy managers. While the power numbers are appealing, his overall value is tempered by the lack of consistency in getting on base, as reflected in his .344 wOBA. Fantasy managers should continue to view Stanton as a boom-or-bust option in lineups, particularly valuable in categories that reward power hitting.
