It hasn’t been the best season for Max Muncy. The Dodgers first baseman entered the year coming off of a torn UCL in his elbow, something the team opted to let him play through in 2022. And while we won’t know for sure if that was the problem early on, he sure looks different as of late.
Through the first few weeks of June, Muncy has hit .328 and posted a 1.185 OPS with 7 home runs. He looks way more locked in, and he’s driving the ball with authority whenever he makes contact. The Dodgers needed him to find his groove, and he looks to be getting there quickly.
