Giancarlo Stanton 2024 Player Outlook: Tantilizing Bounce-Back Potential
9 months agoNew York Yankees outfielder Giancarlo Stanton endured a down 2023 season and became a lightning rod for the Bronx faithful during a tough season for the club overall. The 34-year-old limped to a .191 average while dealing with more injuries a season ago. At the same time, he still managed 24 home runs in just 101 games and 415 trips to the plate. Of course, with Stanton, it's all about health. His last fully healthy season in 2021 contained 35 home runs, 97 RBI, and an .870 OPS. He has still homered 90 times over his last three seasons and 350 games played. He also has four home runs through his first 39 Grapefruit League plate appearances this spring while lighting up the Statcast radars, as per usual. While ATC projects 26 home runs and 67 RBI in 104 games for Stanton in 2024, he has a wealth of room to run on those projections if he can stay on the field. It's a big if, but there sure is an appetizing risk/reward scenario with what could very well be an undervalued 299.66 ADP.
