"After starting the season with a brutal slump, batting .180 with no home runs through his first 28 games, Muncy started to wear glasses to address astigmatism in his right eye. The production since sporting the new look has been night and day. The slugging third baseman has been hitting .284 with an OPS of .999 since wearing his glasses."
"Even after a scary looking knee injury sidelined him for a month in July, and an oblique injury held him out for close to another month, Muncy is back for the home stretch of the season. Despite the injuries, MLB insider Jeff Passan labeled the Dodgers as 'likely' to pick up Muncy's $10 million option this offseason. Muncy turned 35 years old last month, but his bat has been undeniable this season."
Max Muncy began the season in a brutal slump, batting .180 with no home runs through his first 28 games. He began wearing glasses to address astigmatism in his right eye and has since hit .284 with an OPS of .999. A knee injury sidelined him for a month in July, and an oblique injury kept him out for close to another month, but he returned for the season's home stretch. In the eight games after the knee injury he hit .348 with an OPS of 1.401. The oblique issue mirrors a three-month absence from last season. He turned 35 last month and will be 36 next October. The Dodgers are likely to pick up his $10 million option, which represents strong potential value given his recent production.
