There is no denying that Miami Marlins slugger Giancarlo Stanton is one of the best hitters in all of baseball.
In past years he has been known for getting off to a slow start when a new season begins, but that doesn't seem to be the case in 2016.
It's not even the end of April and Stanton already has six home runs and 17 RBIs.
As we'll do periodically throughout the season, let's take a look at Stanton's first home runs of the new year.
