Dodgers hitter Max Muncy battled through depression and doubt before finding his swing in the majors.
Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman Max Muncy has turned into one of the most consistent power hitters in the National League. The 2019 All-Star became the first Dodger to hit 30-plus home runs in back-to-back seasons since Shawn Green in 2001 and 2002. But nobody, including Muncy, would have predicted that two years earlier.
In talking to Joe Davis and Orel Hershisher on their Off Air podcast this week, Muncy said that it was his mental approach that helped turn his career around.
