The Yankees’ 10 highest exit velocities of the 2026 season
A closer look at the top 10 hardest-hit lasers by the Yankees this year.
The New York Yankees showcased their power hitting prowess during the 2026 season, as evidenced by their top 10 exit velocities (EVs) recorded by Statcast. Aaron Judge, the franchise's dominant power hitter, led the charge with three of the highest EVs, followed closely by Giancarlo Stanton, who contributed two of the top ten. Luis García Jr. and Jazz Chisholm Jr. also made the list, surprising given their struggles in the postseason.
Jazz Chisholm Jr. led the list with a 112.4 mph shot against the Twins on July 5, while Luis García Jr. registered a 112.5 mph groundout against the Braves on August 9. Aaron Judge claimed three spots with a solo home run in Texas on April 28 (380th career home run), a 113 mph home run the following day, and a 116.2 mph blast against the Angels on April 13.
Giancarlo Stanton, another powerhouse, registered a 116.3 mph single against the Marlins on April 5, denting the left-field wall and stopping at first base. This marked his highest EV of the season. The Yankees' batting lineup demonstrated exceptional power, with 41 homers leading the regular season, yet Ben Rice, who led the team with home runs, did not make the top 10 due to his highest EV of 110.9 mph.
