We’ve all been shocked by one Max Muncy this season. No one saw this coming, not even the biggest Muncy fan (who is probably someone in his family).
He’s leading the Dodgers in wRC+ (175), walk rate (15.9 percent), isolated power (.354), home runs (13) and FanGraphs’ wins above replacement (2.2). This is as a 27-year-old who spent all of 2017 in Triple-A with Oklahoma City. His last MLB appearance before this season was Sept. 29, 2016, when he pinch hit and played left field for the A’s against the Mariners.
He has come a long way since then.
