Max Muncy made a significant contribution throughout the three-game series between the Los Angeles Dodgers and Arizona Diamondbacks, which the Dodgers won easily.

Seven runs were scored by the Dodgers in the first and last games, nine runs in the middle game, and a 23-5 victory over the Diamondbacks. While the whole Dodgers lineup contributed, Muncy may have had the largest influence, going a combined 5-for-9 over the course of the three games with one home hit, five RBI, four runs scored, and three walks.

After completing the sweep, Muncy remarked, “Just a lot of teams win. “I believed that as a team, we did rather well on the field. Excellent pitching was used. Tonight’s performance by Ryan Pepiot and Ryan Yarbrough was incredible. From a team perspective, the series was successful.

The way Muncy played fit with a wider general pattern of his hot hitting. Muncy has been at bat in his last seven games.407/.500/.825.

Regarding his most recent run, Muncy commented, “It’s been pretty good.” “All I can do is keep concentrating on performing my daily tasks and making an effort to maintain a positive mindset. I hope this keeps going.

Muncy, who is still only batting.208 for the season, is among the top-50 most productive hitters in baseball thanks to his 31 home runs, 88 RBI,.830 on-base plus slugging percentage,.352 wOBA, and 124 wRC+.

After a slow season in 2022 and a difficult May and June of this year, where he recorded a wRC+ of 81 and 43, respectively, the increased output is encouraging.

“I’ve been able to stay more inside the ball,” Muncy said. I’ve thrown a lot of left-center balls. After the off day, everything kind of just started in Cleveland. Just now, a few things came together. Just approach things differently.

Muncy was one of baseball’s finest power hitters in 2018, 2019, and 2021, hitting at least 35 home runs each of those years while maintaining a high on-base percentage.

However, Muncy’s left elbow suffered a ruptured UCL at the end of the 2021 season, which negatively impacted his performance going forward and reduced him from a probable MVP candidate to a league-average player.

If Muncy is truly returning to form to his pre-injury condition, he strengthens the already dominant Dodgers lineup by adding another superstar.

Max Muncy turns around his unimpressive hitting splits.Muncy recorded 26 singles in the first week of August compared to 28 home runs. Muncy at the time stated, “Obviously, I won’t ever complain about the home runs.

But that one doesn’t really make me proud.

After a stellar month, Muncy can now be even more happy of his 34 singles to his 31 home runs as the month comes to a close. He has added 15 doubles as well, although he hasn’t tripled yet this season.
