Yes, it would be outstanding if we could see the version of Stanton which surfaced in the 2024 postseason for longer stretches of the regular season. Stanton hit 7 homer and drove in 16 runs in October reminding us of what he was as recently as 2021. 2024 was not 2021, but it was certainly an improvement from his previous two seasons as he hit more homers than he did in 2023 while raising his batting average 42 points from that season as well. Stanton still cannot stay on the active roster enough to play even 120 games in a season as he has failed to reach that total in each of the past three seasons. He is also a human statue, both in stature and in running speed. Somehow, he is 3rd percentile sprint speed meaning there are a handful of players which move slower than him. It is why Stanton is the only player in history to twice hit at least 25 homers in a season while scoring fewer than 50 runs in that season. The Stanton experience is simple: you roster him because you need homers. He will drive in runs, miss 40 games, and hurt your average in the process. His utility only penalty helps keep his power at a decent price but expecting any more than what he did in 2024 is getting greedy. Read Past Outlooks
