It’s amazing how the day this video was upload, muncy has a multi homer game

He hit a HR to center last night that sure looked like it was off the end of the bat. Dude has incredible power in his swing.

Aaaaaand he's back on top of the MLB in HR, as of 5/16

2 homerun game the day you post this 🔥💙

He mastered the leg kick in combination with and extreme understanding of the strike zone.. Boding for much success...

Immediate hitters that come to mind who finished the season with more home runs than hits are Barry Bonds and Ryan Schimpf. As a Dodger fan, certainly hope it's more the former haha

Update - he just hit 2 more

coming back to this, as of september 3rd, his BA is .207, he's on pace for 35-40 homers, and only has 15 doubles; making his season a bit worse than predicted, but not so far off

Great video !

It’s insane how hard this game is to play

Also I got his final lines as .235/18-20 doubles and 38 HRs…

Okay--let's put the bad with the goods here. I am glad Muncy is having a good year that will give his career numbers a boost. However, if there is one thing this video demonstrates--it would be a major talking point that a lot of fans have ea concern over, and that is the fact of how way too many players are concentrating on hitting home runs, instead of concentrating on just hitting. It is true that a double or a triple, or maybe even a single is not necessarily eventually going to be a run score. BUT these types of hits do produce a body on the bases, and an opportunity for a teammate to bring the previous runner(s) home. These hits also get put on the hitters' career statistics which would include the batting average and OPS. So what is the value of going for an HR every time one is at bat, if a batter hits a routine ground ball on most of their at bats situation--just because they keep going for the HR? Even Arron Judge says he is not trying for a HR every time he is up--he is just trying to make contacts--and those contacts contribute to the teams' ability to score!

He just hit a dinger while I was watching this vid

I love muncy he's just chuggin along

Well sportstorm, thank you for jinxing my twins by posting this with him hitting 2 homers against them last night😅😞🙄

good timing for this vid, he just hit 2 bombs last night

"This abnormal stat line seems unsustainable" Yep

Muncy reminded me of Schwarber... because of your other video.

Max is currently 7 for his last 53 with an OBP under .3 He’s still struggling.

He’s carried the team when they needed it most. During this current slump they have won 13 of 15 games. It helps to have a complete team around you that can carry the load when not everyone is performing. Take the Padres for example. Juan Soto has slumped since he came to the Padres. He’s been on a tear the past 2 weeks. What’s their record during that span? Not very good. And we have folks who started hot 🥵 but have gone ice cold ❄️. This is where a complete team and organizational excellence carries the day.

+2 HR

This was posted just before he dropped two more HRs, a single, a walk, and a strikeout against the Twins. I think Muncy should take The Waterboy's technique and just visualize every pitcher as wearing a Giants uniform. He tears that team up more than any other.

Adam Dunn was in my head after the first minute of this video!😂 Baseball is the weirdest coolest sport ever.

i loved this video since ive always thought the best parts of your scripts are when you’re pulling from multiple sources close to the player or team involved and using stats to bolster (or contradict) conclusions drawn from their words. i also liked your use of aquino and carpenter as baseball similes to highlight muncy’s outlier status. i think when you wade into speculation you could give a bit more reasoning and context as to why you think things could play out a certain way. you can even insert a little more of yourself and say stuff like “i know it’s crazy but so and so reminds me of x player because of y thing that’s highly subjective” love seeing your scripts get stronger. here’s to more good vids and good baseball.

@@SportStorm23 for sure-but i know the push/pull with that is quantity of vids vs thoroughness. when you put out as much content as you do it can’t be easy to delve deep into every single point you make.

Max Muncy almost did not make it to this point. I read a good article on how Muncy almost left baseball. With help, he reworked his swing and became the player we see today. Players go through slumps. Muncy is not the exception. The man does bounce back. Muncy is a talented hitter.

Schwarber had probably the most insane full season of the three true outcomes. Muncy is a good power hitter, but how come he's not hitting doubles? Must be his low line drive percentage. At least he's contributing to his team. But honestly, I'd rather have a guy who hits .280 and hits a bunch of doubles and singles with moderate power because it's overall more productive. More runs scored, more driven in, more chances to score. But each player is unique.

Soto started the year with an incredibly low line drive rate, but it's been higher for the past few weeks. Maybe the same happens with Muncy

As a dude who was able to reel off 25 fights on the back of mechanics that translated from baseball real well, it is real satisfying to see a mechanical thing I teach on punches used in baseball too

He’s the new mad max

I pray he doesn’t regress hard

Hes so underated i always try to get him on my fantasy teams

he is a 250 AVG (with banned shift) 35 HR bat. That’s what he always has been when healthy. Not being able to swing a bat for 7 months really hurt him last year during the first half

You made me giggle

Hes basically a joey gallo. Can hit the cover off the ball but you got to deal with a .200 avg and is an avg fielder at best. If the dodgers would of kept losing, muncy season wouldnt be looked at so successfully

Thanks Oakland!

I've come back from the future to tell you it gets SO MUCH WEIRDER.......

There is a precursor to Muncy and he is Rob Deer, a great power hitter who was feast or famine as he hit near .200 but would crash 35 or 40 homers a year. Go figure!

Mad max, mad max, mad max. Who's better, max muncy, or max muncy, or max scherzer

I have him in fantasy baseball and it's a big double edged sword. Lots of homers but a batting average under .200.............

Aged quickly, this one did. They can't all be bombs... Wait... 😂

Imagine watching this video and still NOT thinking that High-Level-Pattern/Back-Leg/Rotational hitting is the future, and the future is now. Jeff “Judy” Frye and the “down to it n thru it” gang down bad.

Is it really that different from his three best seasons considering those seasons are pulling his average up anyway?

lmao he hit 2 homers literally how’s after this came out

I called it happening. He was Barry bonds before leaving for his kids birth and I said watch when he gets back he’s gonna be awful again and sure enough it happened. He’d probably have over 20 homers now if he never left abs went into that 3 weeks slump but he looks back again

“Aquino” bro ❤

Lots of Dodgers fans gave up on Muncy last year. But I never did. You Munce believe in him.

not complaining.

How Many times is he gonna come back?!

As a Muncy doubter, I wasn't wrong.

Also…so he’s like Kyle Schwarbomb?

12 minute video to learn Muncy is now Gallo

More life tone jacks and RBI’s than Ohtani.

He's up in the long fly balls but his average still low

Since the arrival of Freeman, Muncy hans't been playing as a 1st baseman. That being said, as a fan of the team, we can't ignore his defensive stats, and focus only on his batting skills.

Aristides couldn’t put the bat on the ball. Just couldn’t make contact. Not necessarily the same as Max

Bro had 2 hr today

Muncy has the lowest chase rate in the league by a wide margin for the past few years. His sub .230 average will continue but his high walk and homerun rate will also.

update he hit two bombs tonight

Max Muncy is eating himself out of the league. I been watching him and his weight gain the last couple years. It’s funny how he’s listed at 215 lbs. The dude easily weighs 260. How do you call yourself a professional baseball player and can’t stop stuffing your face. Can’t believe the Dodgers let Justin Turner walk and kept porko. His batting average is at .187 batting clean up. The only thing he is cleaning up are buffets.

Muncy should DH and DH only !!! He is waaay to fat and way to slow to play ANYWHERE in the infield !!

Maybe this is just me, but I HATE these stupid, very specific stats - only player with AVG below .230 and OPS over .900… like WTF is the ludicrously specific stat? I’m sure you could come with a dumb stat for EVERY player if you get specific enough… like only player to hit his 1st Home Run in his 3rd game while wearing mis-matched socks - you see how stupid that sounds?
