- Our prediction for his 2019 batting totals
Giancarlo Stanton once had the largest contract in baseball of $325 million until Bryce Harper came along this past offseason and picked up $330 million from Philadelphia. While Harper’s contract takes a very minute touch of pressure of the Yankee slugger, the expectations are still sky high for Stanton entering his second year in NYC.

Stanton vs. Judge
It’s not the first time these two have been compared and it certainly won’t be the last. Sportsbooks project Stanton to hit four more dingers and collect five more runs and RBI’s than Judge this season.
The odds are certainly in his favor, however, if 2018 was any indication, don’t expect Giancarlo to get off to the hottest start.
After going 3-for-5 with two home runs in his debut, he’d hit just three long smacks throughout his next 28 games. His first few months in New York were rough ones, but eventually he came around to knock 38 long balls while also driving 100 RBI. His frigidly cold start was an anomaly and certainly didn’t set the tone for the rest of the season.
Giancarlo Stanton Career Stats
| Year | Games | BA | Runs | RBI | HR |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2018 | 158 | .266 | 102 | 100 | 38 |
| 2017 | 159 | .281 | 123 | 132 | 59 |
| 2016 | 119 | .240 | 56 | 74 | 27 |
| 2015 | 74 | .265 | 47 | 67 | 27 |
| 2014 | 145 | .288 | 89 | 105 | 37 |
Yanks fans may not have been happy about his start to his year, but he did improve and you can’t argue the man has been a total steed. He’s only missed seven games over the past two seasons; a stat that will come in handy when banking on him to post some pretty huge numbers across the board this year.

Should you bank on Stanton in 2019?
Well, there are some landmarks that do seem more attainable than others. For instance, he has been an RBI machine virtually his whole career, especially in his prime, so that prop has major potential. Yes, last year wasn’t his best, but it took him a while to find his groove and he still hit the century mark.
The second bet that jumps off the board is the run count. Stanton has excelled at crossing the plate and has a career average of 0.59 runs per game. That number brings you to 95.6 over the course of a 162-game season, but let’s keep in mind he had 16 multi-run games. In other words, the odds of him surpassing the 105.5 projection are high.

Now let’s look at the stat we all came here to see – home runs. The man is a two-time Silver Slugger, two-time NL home run champ and a Home Run Derby winner. After his sluggish start, he put 14 out of the park over the final eight weeks of the season and has two dingers on nine hits thus far in Spring Training. All signs point to him gearing up for a monumental 2019.
