Giancarlo Cruz-Michael Stanton (born November 8, 1989), formerly known as Mike Stanton, is an American professional baseball designated hitter and outfielder for the New York Yankees of Major League Baseball (MLB). He has previously played in MLB for the Florida/Miami Marlins. Stanton stands 6 feet 6 inches (1.98 m) tall and weighs 245 pounds (111 kg). He bats and throws right-handed.
Stanton is originally from the Greater Los Angeles region. He graduated from Notre Dame High School in Sherman Oaks, Los Angeles, before the Marlins selected him in the second round of the 2007 MLB draft. He made his MLB debut with the Marlins in 2010. Stanton led the National League in home runs in 2014. In November 2014, the Marlins signed Stanton to the richest total dollar value contract in team sports history at the time of the signing; the contract is worth $325 million over 13 years.[1]
In 2017, Stanton led MLB in home runs (59), runs batted in (RBIs) (132), and slugging percentage (.631),[2] winning the National League Most Valuable Player (MVP) Award. Following the 2017 season, Stanton was traded to the Yankees. A five-time MLB All-Star, Stanton has twice won both the NL Hank Aaron Award and outfield Silver Slugger Award after leading the league in home runs. With Miguel Cabrera retiring in 2023, Giancarlo Stanton is the only remaining currently active player that played for the Florida Marlins, before the franchise changed its name to the Miami Marlins prior to the 2012 season.
