Stanton Goes Granny Style For 1st Career HR As Fish Top Rays 7-4

You know what's really telling with Stanton. He didn't really hit it very hard. That was really up and he just swatted at it and it went 400 feet with a lazy flyball.

I can't wait to see what happens when he really unloads on one. I can better understand that mythical 500+ scoreboard clearing HR now.

Another thing that I've noticed is he hasn't really jumped on many hanging breaking balls when he's gotten them. He did once in the Texas series that he raked foul but that's about it. I'm sure he's still feeling his way through AB's so here's to hoping it's just a matter of time till he starts to make solid contact and sends a few in orbit.
