Max Muncy's 2023 Season Has Been Historically Weird
Вставка

- Hey everyone!
Every year there's a select group of players who start the season on an unsustainable hot streak. However, in the case of Max Muncy, the HR streak he's been on is unprecedented. It may not be sustainable, but he just might hit a career high HR total this year. So, how has this happened?

Bro went from max muncy to minimum muncy and back to max muncy
Lol
His career as a dodger had always been that way. 2018, 2021 was his up and 2019, 2022 was his down.
Maximum Muncy
Are we talking weight gain here. I don’t remember him being so… rotund.
@@whiteknob7944 i mean no 😂 i was talking about his play and how it was elite then it dropped off and now it’s good again
Since he implemented his step back and fully recovered from his surgery from the second half of last year, he’s been Mad Max
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
I'm a Dodgers fan so I came into this video thinking I'd just get appreciate how good he was during the stretch, but your analysis and comparisons were a welcome surprise. Love the content you've been producing. Can't wait for the success you deserve to finally get to you.
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it. Now if your team could stop beating the Padres, that'd be great lol
@@SportStorm23LMAO
2 homerun game the day you post this 🔥💙
Been loving Muncy's comeback this year. Saw this on my youtube and was pleasantly surprised by the effort you put into this. Subscribed!
Thank you!
He hit a homerun 3 hours after this video game out
And then hit a second one the same game
amazing how the tiniest of mechanical changes can make or break a players performance
Can confirm this was a certified banger
You watch it before us or sum 😂
He just hit two home Runs and a single against the Twins
Great video! Really appreciate this kind of informative yet fun video
love the effort you put into this video
Great video !
Update - he just hit 2 more
This is an impressive and well researched video! Muncy’s season is a strange one!
Thank you!
Great video man... you gotta do a video on the rays soon!
Possibly soon!
He hit two home runs last night 😅. He’s back and forth
You posted this video today and 3 hours after he has a 4th multi hr game this season
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
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
It's insane how the ball jumps off his bat, it's like a cheat code in a video game.
He mastered the leg kick in combination with and extreme understanding of the strike zone.. Boding for much success...
It’s insane how hard this game is to play
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.
Thanks for the feedback! I definitely could've dived into the Dunn and Pena comparisons a bit more
@@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 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.
i mean hes been pretty sick for the past week or so they just want to avoid IL
He just hit a home run tonight against the Twins LOL
@@perrywang689 Correction. He hit 2 so far tonight.
+2 HR
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!
"This abnormal stat line seems unsustainable" Yep
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
Also I got his final lines as .235/18-20 doubles and 38 HRs…
He just hit a dinger while I was watching this vid
good timing for this vid, he just hit 2 bombs last night
I love muncy he's just chuggin along
Subbed
You made me giggle
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.
I pray he doesn’t regress hard
He’s carried the team when they needed it most. During this current clump 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.
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
Mom wake up Sportstorm posted
Well sportstorm, thank you for jinxing my twins by posting this with him hitting 2 homers against them last night😅😞🙄
Adam Dunn was in my head after the first minute of this video!😂 Baseball is the weirdest coolest sport ever.
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
Muncy reminded me of Schwarber... because of your other video.
Proceeds to smack two more yammers
He’s the new mad max
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
Hes so underated i always try to get him on my fantasy teams
Please do a video on the Padres offense as a team. Thanks!
That would probably make him depressed. But he’ll probably do a deep dive at the end of the year.
@@Gemnist98 End of year is too late. This is historic failure of epic proportions and requires a deep dive. Who came into this season expecting the Padres to be competing for a wild card spot?
And he hit 2 home runs tonight against the twins lol
Sir Muncymous Maximus Homeruneous. Go Ds!! 💙⚾️
Just Muncy being Muncy.
Mad max, mad max, mad max. Who's better, max muncy, or max muncy, or max scherzer
Thanks Oakland!
Is it really that different from his three best seasons considering those seasons are pulling his average up anyway?
I've come back from the future to tell you it gets SO MUCH WEIRDER.......
Aged quickly, this one did. They can't all be bombs... Wait... 😂
lmao he hit 2 homers literally how’s after this came out
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!
Lots of Dodgers fans gave up on Muncy last year. But I never did. You Munce believe in him.
I have him in fantasy baseball and it's a big double edged sword. Lots of homers but a batting average under .200.............
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.
“Aquino” bro ❤
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
As a Muncy doubter, I wasn't wrong.
not complaining.
12 minute video to learn Muncy is now Gallo
How Many times is he gonna come back?!
Bro had 2 hr today
Also…so he’s like Kyle Schwarbomb?
I find it crazy that max has 0 rookie cards
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.
He's up in the long fly balls but his average still low
More life tone jacks and RBI’s than Ohtani.
update
he hit two bombs tonight
He was an MVP until he left for paternity leave. Since then he’s only had 1 HR, and has been 2022 Max, aka strike out king. He’s back to to his
sucky self
2022 Max was injured and returning from surgery. If we believe the super team Padres will click when they haven’t for 40 plus games then Max will be fine too.
Aristides couldn’t put the bat on the ball. Just couldn’t make contact. Not necessarily the same as Max
My money on max today
"I got nothing against Max Muncy"
And you call yourself a Padres fan, SportStorm? For shame...
joey muncy? max gallo?
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.
He just hit another 2 homers lol
He excels in three areas: Ks, HRs and BBs. All else is nothing 😂
he's probably the quintessential three true outcomes hitter in the modern game
@@heat_death7 there’s joey gallo
HRs and BBs are *important*.
welp this video is already so already out of date

Hi
First like
First
2020 Tatis was not top three… per your graphic..
Muncy should DH and DH only !!!
He is waaay to fat and way to slow to play ANYWHERE in the infield !!
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.
Just talk about max not about some garbage reds player
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?
Thats not an overly specific stat lol. Since batting avg is part of ops that means his slugging is likely unsustainable.
he hit 2 homeruns against the twins today!
the cutest guy among dodgers' players
And now arenado needs to come back lmao
