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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
