Aaron Boone lauds Giancarlo Stanton's 2 home run performance vs Cubs: “He’s as unique as they come"

On Saturday, New York Yankees' Giancarlo Stanton hit two remarkable home runs, leading his team to a resounding 6-3 victory over the Chicago Cubs. The first inning witnessed Stanton unleash a mammoth shot as he launched a towering drive that soared an incredible 447 feet.

Not content with just one awe-inspiring blast, Stanton continued his remarkable display of power later in the game.

Ultimately, Stanton's incredible offensive display proved to be instrumental in the Yankees' triumph over the Cubs. His powerful contributions at the plate provided the necessary firepower to secure a convincing victory for his team.

New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone couldn't help but shower praise on the incredible performance displayed by Giancarlo Stanton.

"He hit it off the facade of the upper deck,” Boone said while chuckling after the game. “I’ve never seen a ball go up there. To hit it 118 [mph], that high, to the direct pull side, you can’t make that up. That’s as weird as it gets.”

New York Yankees' star outfielder Aaron Judge is anticipated to stay on the injured list for an extended period of time. With Judge sidelined, Stanton's role in the team has become even more crucial. The Yankees are counting on Stanton to not only make significant contributions with his batting prowess but also to serve as a vital power threat in the heart of their lineup.

“He’s getting closer,” Boone said. “He’s as unique as they come. You’ve just gotta ride through it. And then when he locks it in, he can go for a while.”
