Opening Day for the Miami Marlins 2016 season is just days away and the team is primed for a run at a National League playoff appearance.

There is no argument that the Marlins most exciting player is Giancarlo Stanton. He's one of the biggest stars in Major League Baseball and is known for his ridiculous home runs.

To get pumped for what Stanton can do in the upcoming season, let's take a look at some of his most impressive homers from 2015.

4/21 Citizens Bank Park Bullpen 454ft

Stanton's first big bomb of the season, he powered this blast into the upper bullpen at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia, no easy feat.

 

5/12 Dodger Stadium Blast 467ft

This one got a lot of attention, and rightly so.  It isn't often when someone can hit a ball completely out of Dodger Stadium.

 

5/15 Marlins Park Center Field Camera Well 474ft

In his first multi-homer game of the season, Stanton treated fans to something they probably had never seen before.  He sent this laser of a homerun into the center field camera well at Marlins Park, giving one lucky cameraman a surprise souvenir.

 

5/16 Marlins Park Fan One-Handed Catch 475ft

One day after sending a ball into the center field camera well, Stanton powered another homer to a part of Marlins Park that rarely provides fans an opportunity to make a catch.  On this day, not only did a fan come away with the ball, he made a highlight reel catch that rivaled the sheer power of the swing that sent it there.

 

5/30 Citi Field Game-Sealer 466ft

Stanton's second multi-homer game of the season would once again see a ball travel much farther than they usually do in a ballpark that doesn't usually give up many longballs.  After cranking a ball 419 feet in the third inning, he sealed the Marlins victory with this bomb in the ninth.

 

6/5 Coors Field Demolition 484ft

Boy oh boy does Giancarlo love hitting at Coors Field.  This monster jack was his eighth home run at the Denver ballpark in only his 15th career game there. It's also his longest homer of the season…so far.

 

6/8 Opposite Field & Out Of Rogers Centre In A Hurry 434ft

The Marlins were down big early but Stanton sent this outside fastball over the right-center field wall in the blink of an eye.

 

6/23 Over The Wall And Over The Budweiser Terrace At Marlins Park 484ft

This one would have gone completely out of Marlins Park had the outfield windows been open.

 

6/24 Last Homer Of The Season Goes A Long, Long Way 448ft

Stanton's final home run of 2015 was over the center field wall before most people realized he had hit it.
