If not for his baseball career, Giancarlo Stanton could have been a great addition to WWE, given his giant body physique. But he made his career in baseball. Stanton, who currently plays for the New York Yankees, has also played for the Miami Marlins.

Back in 2015, Stanton was the next big thing in baseball. He has played his best MLB season for the Marlins. In the 2017 season, Stanton belted 59 home runs for the Marlins. It was the one season that forced the Yankees to go after him. And in 2018, the Yankees signed the Marlins star.

Currently playing for the Yankees, Stanton is on a roll in the 2022 season. He has played only 35 games and already has 11 home runs in his name. Given there are still over 100 games to play, the Yankees star has the best chance to better his 2017 record.
