By all means, New York Yankees slugger Giancarlo Stanton is one of the most fearsome hitters in baseball — not only of his generation but of all time. But Ben Clemens of FanGraphs has recently dug up some evidence about a seeming vulnerability of Stanton at the plate that every opposing pitcher should be aware of.

Here’s another way of thinking about it. On pitches on the inner third of the plate, Stanton is the fearsome power hitter you’d expect, with the eighth-highest wOBA and sixth-highest slugging percentage in baseball since 2015. On pitches away, his success is muted; even with all that opposite-field power, his complete lack of pull-side damage relegates him to 19th-best in wOBA and 23rd-best in slugging percentage. That’s still good, but come on: he’s Giancarlo Stanton, god of power! Pitch him away, and you might survive.

But it needs to be mentioned as well that Clemens noted that pitchers have always been pitching that way against the Yankees star, but the struggle to get anything when he's trying to pull away pitches remains to boggle him.

Despite that, Stanton is still hitting .285 this season with a .330 OBP and a .523 SLG along with a 151 OPS+ for the Yankees. Maybe Stanton will be able to figure things out soon with regards to his attempt to go opposite on away pitches. Either way, he's someone pitchers usually would rather not see on the plate.
