Dodgers' Max Muncy hits his 100th career home run: 'It’s a pretty cool number'

His mind filled with self-doubt, Max Muncy strongly considered retirement in 2017. Now the Dodgers' first baseman is among the game's top hitters.

The Dodgers say Mookie Betts’ slump isn’t tied to potential injury issues, but the normally standout outfielder has performed in a strangely pedestrian manner.

“Part of me always felt like it was in there, but when you start having failures, you start having your own self-doubts, and on top of that you have so many other people telling you you can’t do things, it’s hard to come back from that,” Muncy said. “But thankfully, I had the right support staff around me to keep it going.”in 2018, but he’s taken his game to another level in 2021. He enters Monday night’s game against the St. Louis Cardinals with a .281 average, a major league-best .

He also has the versatility to play second base, which he showed again on Sunday when he made a nice over-the-shoulder running catch of Curt Casali’s pop-up to shallow right-center field in the fourth inning and a leaping catch of Wilmer Flores’ line drive up the middle in the fifth.“He hits left, he hits right, he takes the walk and can hit to all fields,” Roberts said.
