Of course one of them was by Giancarlo Stanton.
Good morning, I’m Dan Gartland. A 60-homer season is starting to seem more and more likely for Aaron Judge.There are few things in sports more satisfying to watch than a batter squaring up a pitch and launching it several hundred feet the other way for a home run. Toronto Blue Jays slugger Vladimir Guerrero Jr.
Another beautiful thing about baseball, though, is that there are a million ways to hit a home run, and on Thursday we had two of the most unusual home run swings you could ever imagine. The pitch was 4.60 feet off the ground, the second-highest pitch hit for a home run in the pitch-tracking era . The top spot belongs to Kyle Higashioka, who homered on a 35.1 mph eephus pitch from position player Frank Schwindel that was. “I’ve struck out on that pitch a couple of times this year. I just try to get the barrel to the ball with two strikes.”
Clement wasn’t the only player to hit a weird home run on Thursday. There was also this blast by New York Yankees slugger Giancarlo Stanton.Stanton is no stranger to baffling displays of power, but his homer off of the Cleveland Guardians’ Nick Sandlin was remarkable even by his standards. Sandlin, a righty, threw a slider at Stanton’s knees that tailed away from him and broke off the plate. And yet Stanton was able to reach down and not only make solid contact, he smacked it 105.
