Stanton also holds the Statcast record for the hardest hit, with a 122.2 mph single from the 2017 season, according to MLB.com.

The Yankees have a knack for hitting harder than any other team this year. Stanton has drilled 8 out of 10 of the hardest-hit balls this season, according to ESPN Stats & Info. Aaron Judge and Gary Sanchez have the other two hits.

Judge previously held the record for hardest-hit homer at 121.1 mph, per MLB.com. Statcast has been tracking hits since 2015.
