"Max Muncy became the new Los Angeles Dodgers postseason home run leader with his blast in Game 2 of the National League Championship Series. That gave Muncy a total of 14 career home runs in the playoffs. Muncy had been tied with Corey Seager and Justin Turner for the all-time Dodgers home run record in the postseason at 13 each. Muncy hit his 13th career postseason home run during Dodgers' blowout win against the New York Mets in Game 3."
"Seager appeared in 61 postseason games (60 starts) for the Dodgers over six years. He put together a remarkable run in 2020 to earn NLCS and World Series MVP honors en route to the Dodgers capturing their first championship since 1988. Turner played in 86 playoff games (83 starts) across nine career trips to the postseason with the Dodgers. His most memorable October home run was a walk-off blast against the Chicago Cubs in the 2017 NLCS."
"Muncy has been a consistent contributor since signing with the Dodgers in 2017 and making his team debut the following year. He hit three home runs in each postseason from 2018-2020 and added another one in 2022. Muncy did not leave yard when the Dodgers were swept by the Arizona Diamondbacks in the 2023 NL Division Series, and finished with four home runs during the 2024 MLB playoffs."
