The Oakland Athletics selected infielder Max Muncy with the 25th overall pick of the 2021 MLB Draft — but not to be confused with the player who has become a two-time All-Star with the Los Angeles Dodgers.
The Athletics’ Muncy is a shortstop out of Thousand Oaks High School and became one of the top prospects in the country. This is the second time the A’s have drafted a Max Muncy, as they also took the Dodgers’ Muncy in the fourth round of the 2012 MLB Draft.
If Muncy fell to the Dodgers pick at 29th overall, he is a player they would have considered drafting, according to the director of amateur scouting Billy Gasparino.
