2026 Fantasy Baseball Player Profile
Max Muncy delivered another campaign of trademark power and patience in 2025, serving as a key cog in the Dodgers' lineup. Across 100 games, he swatted 19 home runs and drove in 48 runs, maintaining a robust .227/.345/.470 slash line. His 16.5% walk rate remained elite, fueling a .345 OBP that compensated for his typically low batting average. While his counting stats were somewhat limited by missing time, his 137 wRC+ underscores his high-level efficiency when on the field. Muncy continued to barrel the ball at an impressive clip (13.6%), ensuring his power output remained among the league's best on a per-plate-appearance basis.
Entering 2026, Muncy remains a valuable, albeit specific, fantasy asset. He is a premier source of home runs and OBP from the hot corner, though his batting average liability requires roster balance. Projections forecast a full-season pace of 22-25 home runs and 80+ RBI, assuming he can stay healthy for 130+ games. His multi-position eligibility (likely 3B, with potential 1B coverage depending on league rules) adds flexibility. Fantasy managers should view him as a high-floor power bat who excels in OBP/OPS formats, offering consistent production in the heart of a potent Dodgers offense.
