Dodgers' Max Muncy Accomplishes Feat Only Achieved Once in 1938

As of Wednesday, Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Max Muncy has notched a series of impressive feats that have snowballed into one accomplishment so rare, it has only been done once in an MLB season. While it took a Hall-of-Famer the course of an entire season to do it, Muncy did it in under a month.

In a post on X, OptaSTATS pointed out that since May 31, Muncy had recorded three games of 6+ RBIs, three multi-home run games, two games with 7+ RBIs, two games with multiple home runs of the 3-run or more variety, and two grand slams. OptaSTATS noted that, “The only other player in MLB history to do all of that over an entire season was Jimmie Foxx during his 1938 MVP campaign.”

Hitting .250/.375/.454 with 12 home runs, chances are Muncy won’t be an MVP this year, but since donning prescription eyewear on April 30, we have seen a new Muncy (and not the one with the A’s). Prior to his eyesight revelation, Muncy was hitting .180 with no home runs. In the month of June alone, Muncy is hitting .328/.459/.642 with six home runs entering Friday’s bout against the Royals.

In the blink of a perfectly seeing eye, Muncy’s bat exploded, and all trade rumors replacing him have ceased. A hot streak such as this isn’t too uncommon for Muncy, who often has experienced hot and cold streaks. Whether he can sustain his torrid pace with his newfound eyesight or not remains to be seen, but every Dodgers fan can truly appreciate the history he has made since the end of May.
