Max Muncy, a key player for the Los Angeles Dodgers, started the 2023 season poorly with a .176 batting average and high strikeout rate. However, following a mechanical adjustment, he has shown remarkable improvement, hitting .333 in his last three games. Manager Dave Roberts noted Muncy's better plate discipline and comfort at the plate, indicating a potential turnaround. Muncy himself acknowledged the initial struggles stemmed from mechanical issues, emphasizing the importance of addressing these to regain his form.
"He has turned a corner, he has," Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said. "His work's been good. He's seeing the ball much better... when he's getting on base, and it was a ton this series, then that's a good thing."
"It's just working on mechanics to help slow the ball down," Muncy said. "The ball sped up on me the first week or two of the season, and I really wasn't myself... chasing a lot of stuff."
