It's a little bit scary that the two star Dodgers pitchers now are a small Japanese guy and a dude with a long injury history.
Lord help us.
Have you seen Max Muncy's weird stats?
When he makes contact, he's 14-for-30, which is nearly .500.
However, at the same time, he has 27 strikeouts. Yes, 27 strikeouts in 57 AB. This is only moderated by the fact that he also has 9 walks, but boy these strikeouts are brutal this year.
His ascension has always been a bit of a mystery. Went from a nobody prospect released by Oakland, to banging out 183 HR since 2018. When he joined the Dodgers at that point, he was 27 1/2 years old with 5 career HR to his name, in 215 career AB.
Some have said it's roids, but I don't think so. But it wouldn't surprise me if he completely falls off a cliff at some point.
