NEW YORK — Another one? After home runs from Aaron Judge, Gary Sanchez and Luke Voit, Giancarlo Stanton out-distanced them all.

Stanton crushed a 448-foot home run off Mets reliever Chasen Shreve in the seventh inning of Sunday’s exhibition game at Yankee Stadium.

Stanton’s home run went 448 feet and had an exit velocity of 112.5 mph, according to Statcast.

Judge had already clubbed a pair of home runs. Sanchez and Voit each had hit tape-measure shots.

Stanton’s blast gave the Yankees a 6-0 lead.
