Yankees' Giancarlo Stanton reveals secret to his hot start to the season

The New York Yankees bounced back after their first loss of the season with another strong performance, topping the Seattle Mariners 5-0.

Max Fried tossed seven scoreless frames to take his streak to 13 1/3, and Giancarlo Stanton stayed hot by going 2-for-4 with a couple of RBI.

That was Stanton's fifth consecutive multi-hit game, joining the likes of Bob Meusel, Bill Skowron and Alfonso Soriano as the only Yankees to do so in the first five games of the season.

When asked about his hot start, the All-Star slugger credited his new batting stance. 

Giancarlo Stanton's new stance is helping his offense

“I might have changed my stance the most out of anyone I've seen,” Stanton told TNT. “You know, I'm always tinkering, always trying to get better, always trying to feel better, and be on time as much as I can to adjust.”

Stanton keeps making tweaks and adjustments to his approach at the plate, and it's paying off in the early stretch of the season:

“I’m just staying back, being on time for heaters and keeping my barrel through the zone as much as possible,” Stanton told MLB.com's Bryan Hoch after the win.

Stanton has been one of the most dominant sluggers in baseball through the first two weeks of the season.

He's slashing .500/.500/.750 with 10 hits, one home run, two runs and four RBI, and while that torrid start is clearly not sustainable, it's just what he needed after playing in just 77 games in another injury-riddled campaign last season.
