Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Max Muncy began the season in a slump. Muncy started the year hitting .180 with no home runs, four RBIs, and a .531 OPS.
It took Muncy 28 games to hit his first home run. The Dodgers had been patient with the third baseman, but trusted his proven track record would eventually come through.
While it took some time for Muncy to warm up, he’s had a breakout performance as of late.
Since May 31, Muncy has recorded three games with six-plus RBIs, three multi-home run games, two games with seven-plus RBIs, two games with multiple three-plus run homers, and two grand slams.
