VIDEO: McCutchen in awe after Stanton's derby performance
Jesse Johnson-USA TODAY Sports
This Andrew McCutchen vine perfectly reflects the collective reaction the baseball world shared after Giancarlo Stanton's first-round showing at the Home Run Derby.
Stanton finished his round with six homers, good for the NL lead, including a moon shot estimated at a projected distance of 510 feet.
To recap Stanton, hit two bombs into the 3rd deck, hit one over the batter's eye in CF, hit another that short-hopped batter's eye. Unreal

His peers were equally impressed.
@Giancarlo818 wow.
