Giancarlo Stanton puts on Yankees power show with two mammoth home runs

Observations from Yankees spring training on Wednesday:

Two strong

Giancarlo Stanton hit a projected 826 feet worth of home runs.

In the third inning of the Yankees’ 8-1 spring training win over the Blue Jays, the Bombers DH demolished one to left-center against Eric Lauer before crushing a Lazaro Estrada slider over the wall in center field during the sixth.

Stanton owns an impressive 1.546 OPS through four Grapefruit League games.

McMahon down

Working with a different batting stance, Ryan McMahon is statistically off to a slow start, his 0-for-2 with a walk dropping him to 3-for-25 in the Grapefruit League.
