Everyone knows Giancarlo Stanton can knock the cover off the ball, but now Yankee fans know he can dent a wall, too.
The Yankees slugger hit a line drive off the left field wall in The Bronx, leaving a mark where the ball hit it during their series finale against the Marlins on Sunday.
Stanton smacked a line drive in the bottom of the seventh with an exit velocity of 116.3 mph and dented the wall, YES Network pointed out on the broadcast.
“A blistering line drive that almost went through the wall,” play-by-play man Michael Kay said on air.
The ball bounced right to the left fielder, preventing Stanton from extending it to a double and keeping Ben Rice from scoring.
The Yankees had been leading 4-3 at the time before the Marlins scored four runs in the eighth to go ahead 7-4.
