Since the last day of the 2021 regular season when Max Muncy suffered a dislocated elbow, he hasn’t been the same player.
This season, Muncy’s power has returned, particularly against right-handed pitching. However, he has abysmal offensive statistics against left-handers.
So, that begs the question: Should the Dodgers platoon Muncy at third base?
Definitely. The problem is the Dodgers don’t have a true third baseman to backup Muncy. Kiké Hernàndez, Amed Rosario, Chris Taylor, and Miguel Rojas can play third base, but none of them have much power.
