Max Muncy's 2024 season was marred by a mysterious oblique injury, limiting him to 73 games, yet he made a significant impact when he played. His performance included a solid OPS of .852, particularly in the National League Championship Series against the Mets. However, the 2025 season has seen a drop in his performance metrics, raising concerns. Despite a slow start, recent games indicate a potential turnaround with improved hitting. Manager Dave Roberts acknowledges Muncy's emotional playing style, which can be both beneficial and detrimental, emphasizing the need for consistency moving forward.
Muncy has developed a reputation in the Dodgers clubhouse as a player who plays the game with a lot of emotion, but that has often been a double-edged sword throughout his career.
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts has never doubted Muncy's effort and preparation this season, but he does want to see a more consistent swing at the plate going forward.
He seems to always find himself in a hole at some point in time during the season, but he always seems to dig his way out and get to the other side, which I think right now we're on the other side of it.
