Dodgers third baseman Max Muncy struggled after sustaining a major elbow injury at the end of 2021. He is determined to recapture his All-Star form.
It’s not so much Muncy’s solid numbers — he entered the final weekend of exhibition play with a .250 average , .803 OPS, one homer, three doubles and six RBIs in 15 games — it’s the way he looks in the box.
Dodgers third baseman Max Muncy throws to first during a spring game against the San Diego Padres on March 6.— Max Muncy, on the offseason changes he has made to his swing He was put on the injured list in late May and sent to the minor leagues for a brief rehabilitation assignment. That didn’t help. Muncy returned to the Dodgers on June 9. On July 27, he was hitting .158 with a .612 OPS, nine homers and 31 RBIs.
Muncy singled sharply to right-center field in his first at-bat that night. He followed with three hard-hit grounders and a strikeout. “I needed to forget everything that I did, because I didn’t want to do that going forward,” Muncy said. “Even though it worked for me last year, I know that it’s not going to be the best solution for me. I had to revamp my swing last year, and now we’re un-revamping it to get it simpler again.”
