The 15 Scariest Hitters In Postseason History

The 15th Scariest Hitter In Postseason History: Giancarlo Stanton

Wait a second, hear us out.

We know it’s incredibly early in the career of Giancarlo Stanton. We also know that he hasn’t had a ton of opportunities. But, we’re also pretty confident that Stanton is one of the scariest hitters in postseason history.

Standing at 6’6’ and weighing roughly 250 pounds, Stanton is the last player pitchers want to see stepping into the batter’s box. In just 18 postseason games, Stanton has homered in nine of them. He’s also registered 17 RBIs.

Unfortunately for Stanton, his play was often ripped for what took place earlier in his career. After spending eight seasons in Florida, Stanton racked up a ton of individual awards but the Marlins could never come close to making a playoff appearance. Once the immensely talented right fielder landed in New York with the Yankees, he continually made an impact on their championship hopes.

Stanton has yet to play in a World Series but you can’t put the blame on him. In his most recent trip to the playoffs, Stanton had some ridiculously monster numbers. He batted .750 with only one strikeout. Stanton is a beast on the mound and while he doesn’t have the longevity of several other names you’ll see on this list, when it’s all said and done, he’ll have earned his spot.
