Internally, the Dodgers believe there is more to Muncy’s hitting profile than a patient slugger who cannot hit for average. They’re still waiting for his statistics to bear that out.
“There’s times when he chases slug,” manager Dave Roberts said of Muncy. “I know there’s a better hitter in there. I just don’t see a world in which he’s a .190 hitter.”
Health has been a mitigating factor each of the last two seasons, too. Muncy tore the UCL in his left elbow in the final regular-season game of 2021, an injury that sapped much of his power in 2022. He had been relatively healthy this season, and hitting for power, until a hamstring strain sent him to the 10-day injured list in June.
