BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues
OWNED IN: 42% of leagues
ANALYSIS: Los Angeles Dodgers utility player Max Muncy has a seven game hitting streak going, including a two home run game on June 3rd, and home runs in each of the last three games. At just 42%, he still is criminally underowned.
In the last 30 days, Muncy has a .731 slugging percentage, including eleven home runs, and has 21 RBI. Mainly playing first base and third base for the Dodgers, Muncy has also found a place at the top of the Dodgers lineup, normally hitting second.
The 27-year-old Muncy had two home runs last week and has five multi-RBI games since May 16. This power surge is substantiated by his batted ball profile, as he has a 42.4% hard hit ball rate since the beginning of May and has also hit 48.5% fly balls. He only has 15.2% soft hit ball rate since May 1 and has also roped 19.7% line drives since the beginning of May
Muncy has made the most of injuries for the Dodgers, as he garnered playing time from Logan Forsythe, Justin Turner, and Corey Seager's injuries. With his ability to hit the ball harder, look for Muncy to serve as a utility player in deeper formats.
