  • Max Muncy...WTF?

    Can anyone explain how a career .235 hitter becomes a power bat? Is this a rare Jose Bautista clone?

      No. Thats why winning fantasy baseball takes lots of luck

        I don't think so. His HR/FB rate is more than double in the Show than his minor league average. That looks like the regression train is going to hit in a pretty nasty way.

        OTOH, on just the improved hitting side, there are some things that look like he's legitimately improved as a hitter - 2017/2018 increases in BB rate and contact rate indicate the BA/OBP gains look pretty legitimate.
        I'm just here for the baseball.
