Lumbering Giancarlo Stanton tagged out at home in befuddling Yankees World Series decision

The Yankees were willing to try something — anything — but this might not have been the answer.

Giancarlo Stanton was thrown out at home plate on what will go down as a head-scratching call by third base coach Luis Rojas to end the fourth inning in Game 3 of the World Series.

On the wrong end of a 3-0 score, Stanton hit a one-out double and was unable to advance on Jazz Chisholm’s lineout.

Anthony Volpe sent a single to left field — fielded by the Dodgers’ Teoscar Hernandez — and Stanton, never known for his foot speed, was waved around by Rojas.

Herenandez’s one-bounce throw from shallow left went right to catcher Will Smith in more than enough time to apply an inning-ending tag — and prevent the Bombers from getting on the board.

That Stanton, oftentimes a Yankees hero this postseason, is not fleet of foot should not come as a surprise to anyone having watched him run the bases.

The 34-year-old slugger had one of MLB’s worst sprint speed’s this season at 24.5 feet per second, ranking 549th out of 566 qualified players, per Statcast — only catcher Jose Trevino was worse on the Yankees roster at 24.4.

It’s far from the first time Stanton’s baserunning has been a Yankees problem, with Monday night probably not being the best time to put it to the test again.
