Max Muncy

Max Muncy says he worked hard this off-season to improve against offspeed pitches.

Fantasy Impact

Muncy struggled against breaking pitches in 2019 in what was otherwise a fantastic offensive season for him. The 25-year-old hit 35 homers for the second straight year to go along with an .889 OPS. If he winds up hitting offspeed pitching better, that will only help. His positional flexibility helps make him one of the best mid-round values in fantasy drafts these days.

The Dodgers have given Max Muncy a three-year extension worth $26 million with a $13 million club option for 2023. The move buys out his arbitration years plus one year of free agency with the option.

A good move, Muncy has popped 70 home runs over the last two years and will continue to get on base (.374 OBP) in front of a powerful Dodger lineup, he scored 101 runs last year. Muncy is easily a top ten fantasy option at second base and don’t forget he can help at the corner spots, too.
