Giancarlo Stanton has hit under .190 since the 2022 all-star break. There is no excuse, he has been awful. Yet in some way though his 2023 WAR is only a -0.1 despite the Yankees being multiple games below .500%.
Stanton last had a .250+ batting average season in 2021, where he hit .273 in 139 games. He is signed through 2027, but seems to be an empty shell of his former self.
So far in 2023 Stanton has played in 74 games for 267 at-bats, where he has posted a .199 average with a .715 OPS.
Stanton’s stat line between Miami and New York shows the fall-off perfectly:
Last 6 years w/MIA

211 HRs
526 RBIs
6 years w/NYY
522 games (560 max if plays rest of ‘23 season)

129 HRs
344 RBIs
