2025 Player Outlook
An oblique injury cost Muncy three months of the 2024 season, but he posted the same old profile we have come to consistently know when he was on the field. He posted a walk rate above 15 percent and a strikeout rate above 26 percent, while swatting 15 home runs in just 293 plate appearances. The hitters in the lineup ahead of Muncy all possess elite on-base skills, which should provide him with plenty of RBI opportunities.
