Max Muncy is a third baseman for the Los Angeles Dodgers. In 2026 he hit 22 home runs and knocked in 52 RBIs, notching 88 hits across 406 plate appearances in 107 games. His batting average was .248, 1.7% higher than the league average of .244. He reached base at a .342 clip and slugged .485, for an OPS of .827, 14.9% higher than the league mark of .719 — the third best on his team, and 43rd of 417 among MLB batters with 100+ plate appearances. He averaged 90.4 mph off the bat, hit 45.4% of balls in play at 95 mph or better and made contact on 71.0% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his 130 wRC+ puts his offence 30% above average. That comes to 2.9 dbWAR — +13.7 runs with the bat, -0.2 on the bases, +1.7 for the position he plays, against replacement level. It includes no fielding: defensive runs are proprietary and are not estimated here, so the figure credits playing a demanding position but not playing it well.

How these are computed

wOBA uses linear weights measured from this season's own play-by-play rather than published constants, and wRC+ is park-adjusted against that same league. dbWAR is our own open implementation — not fWAR or bWAR — and the full derivation, including its simplifications, is on the methodology page.
