The analytical model placed Muncy at No. 8 on its list, which was his same spot for the 2023 season. Muncy was ranked a top-five first baseman every season from 2019-2022.
The Shredder is a statistical model that places emphasis on WAR, wRC+ and Statcast metrics to compile annual rankings. The model focuses on a three-year sample with performance in the previous season weighted more heavily in the calculations.
Muncy made the transition to third base because of the Dodgers signing Freddie Freeman in February 2022. Freeman was ranked by The Shredder as the No. 1 first baseman heading into the 2024 season.
