Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Max Muncy is currently one of the team’s hottest hitters, a stark contrast from the first month and a half of the season where he struggled to produce.
In Muncy’s first 150 plate appearances of 2025, he was batting .190 with a .599 OPS and just one home run.
Muncy’s early season slump led to speculation that the Dodgers would inevitably trade for a third baseman at the deadline this summer. Many fans were beginning to lose faith in Muncy, but the Dodgers stood by the 34-year-old and trusted his proven track record would eventually return.
