The 26-year-old slugger has gone yard in consecutive contests, and is up to five dingers in 17 games.

EDGE Analysis

Stanton is off to a slow start this year, hitting just .238 early on. Although the slugger has three home runs in 42 at-bats, he has no other extra-base hits thus far. Stanton is a career .269 hitter and has prodigious power. His bat should pick up sooner rather than later.
