TAMPA — A hard-hitting truth is beginning to emerge at Yankees camp this spring. Gary Sanchez continues to crush the baseball and pick up incredible compliments along the way, even though all eyes seemingly are on Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton.

With all this Yankees firepower, Sanchez is the one leading the way.

Scouts have noticed the retooled Sanchez is on fire. Manager Aaron Boone has noticed as well. And, most importantly, so have Sanchez’s teammates.

The latest to praise Sanchez was CC Sabathia, who knows a thing or two about hitters, having made 509 regular-season starts during his 17-year career.

Sabathia and Masahiro Tanaka squared off in a simulated game Wednesday against their teammates and some minor leaguers at the minor league complex and Sabathia got a firsthand look at his own hitters.

“This is a tough lineup, man, top to bottom,’’ Sabathia said. “You know [Giancarlo] Stanton. … I think Sanchee’s probably the best hitter in the lineup and you don’t talk about him at all, so it’s a tough one.’’

That’s high praise. Almost as high as the scoreboard at Steinbrenner Field over which Sanchez hit a missile last week.

Sanchez is a hitting machine. After 177 major league games, the 25-year-old owns a slash line of .283/.353/.567. He has become a balanced hitter.

“He has power to all fields,’’ Sabathia said. “He reminds me like a young Manny Ramirez. That’s enough said right there.’’

More than enough. Ramirez was a nine-time Silver Slugger winner and a 12-time All-Star.

Sanchez hit two vicious line drive singles to right Wednesday, one off Sabathia and one off Tanaka. It was textbook hitting.

Sabathia, speaking about the line drive Sanchez ripped off him, said: “That was a good pitch from me. He’s a good hitter.’’

Greg Bird seems to be finding his swing as well, and lifted a long home run off the roof of the indoor batting cages beyond right field off Tanaka.

“We’ve got a lot of hitters,’’ Didi Gregorius said.

As for Stanton, Sabathia said: “I’m excited to see what kind of numbers he is going to put up in our park. Obviously he is a good teammate. He’s getting along with the guys great, so that’s exciting, too.’’
