When New York Yankees DH Giancarlo Stanton hits a home run, he really hits a home run.

That was the case Sunday afternoon at Yankee Stadium when the Yankees hosted the Toronto Blue Jays. With the bases loaded and two outs, Stanton absolutely crushed a fastball to left field.

The ball came off the bat at 110.6 miles per hour and gave the Yankees a 5-1 lead in the bottom of the third inning. Statcast said it traveled 417 feet, but this immaculate home run had fans in awe.
