Giancarlo Stanton seemingly jogged to home plate for an easy out and was ripped for it

Giancarlo Stanton Yankees Aaron Boone Baseball

New York Yankees outfielder Giancarlo Stanton might not be the fastest man on the planet, but he got caught seemingly jogging to home plate in a game on Saturday.

While the Yankees aren’t having the type of season that screams “World Series contender,” you’d think there’d be more urgency when you have a chance to earn a run against a talented team like the Houston Astros.

Well, Stanton tried to make it home to get a lead on the Astros at the bottom of the third inning. However, it looked like he was very not going at full speed as he rounded home and got tagged out by the catcher.

Stanton basically made it to home plate with the catcher waiting to get him out, with there not being any clear reason for why he went so slowly on the run. It literally would’ve been more beneficial for him to stay on second.

Unless he was hurt, it really doesn’t make any sense.

Stanton isn’t a spring chicken, but he is a professional baseball player. It really didn’t look like there was any reason for him not to go faster.

Whatever it was, this was a very odd out.

MLB fans had no idea what was going on here.
