Max Muncy, the Dodgers' third baseman, has started the season poorly, hitting .193 with no home runs in 57 at-bats. Known for his pitch recognition, he has struggled to control his swings, indicating he may be pressing. Despite these struggles, manager Dave Roberts observed improvement after a recent series against the Rockies, noting Muncy's good at-bats and presence on base. Muncy himself acknowledged recent progress, emphasizing his focus on deep counts and allowing teammates to capitalize on opportunities.
"He has turned a corner," Roberts said. "His work's been good. He's seeing the ball much better... getting on base - and it was a ton this series - then that's a good thing."
"Last couple games for me (have) been a whole lot better," Muncy said. "Finally getting the ball back in the zone, taking my walks... allow everyone else to beat themselves."
