Amidst what is shaping up to be a career year, Max Muncy earned a spot on the Phase 2 ballot for the 2021 MLB All-Star Game. Whether Muncy will compete in the 2021 Home Run Derby, however, is still yet to be decided.
When healthy, Muncy has been as impactful as any player at the plate this season, ranking second in baseball in on-base percentage (.419). Additionally, his 17 home runs lead the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Staying healthy, however, has been a bit of a challenge this year, and participation in the Home Run Derby could further exacerbate lingering injuries.
