Giancarlo Stanton hit another one of those home runs that only Giancarlo Stanton seems to hit.
The New York Yankees star came to the plate in the top of the fourth inning with two outs and a runner on first base. Texas Rangers Jon Gray threw a 96 mph fastball down the middle and Stanton hit a rocket over the wall in center field.
Center fielder Wyatt Langford barely had time to turn around as he assumed the ball was going to hit the wall, only to find it disappeared over the fence.

If it looked like an improbable home run, well, you must be new to Giancarlo Stanton's work. The 17 degree launch angle is one of the lowest measured over the last decade and no one hits anywhere near as many home runs with this kind of trajectory as the Yankees slugger.
Giancarlo Stanton!

115 mph
17 degrees
That’s his 24th home run at a launch angle of 17 degrees or lower under Statcast (2015, including playoffs), 11 more than anyone else https://t.co/wRxiCfiZKx
With this laser to center, Stanton is up to double-digit home runs on the season after not making his 2025 debut until the middle of June.
