  • Athletics' Max Muncy: Reassigned to minor-league camp

The shortstop has slashed .179/.233/.464 with two home runs across 30 plate appearances in 15 Cactus League games. Additionally, the 21-year-old struck out 14 times in those games.

  • Athletics' Max Muncy: Going to Midwest League

    The Athletics promoted Muncy from Single-A Stockton to High-A Lansing on Wednesday, Melissa Lockard of The Athletic reports. The 2021 first-round draft pick has produced at slightly-above-league-average level for Stockton (.365 wOBA, 108 wRC+) for the season, but he's been even better dating back to June 1, slashing .234/.369/.447 while trimming his strikeout rate to a high, but still palatable, 28.6 percent. In Lansing, the 19-year-old shortstop will be joining Oakland's top overall hitting prospect in catcher Tyler Soderstrom.

  • Athletics' Max Muncy: First multi-homer game Thursday

    Muncy went 4-for-4 with a pair of solo home runs and was also hit by a pitch in Single-A Stockton's win over San Jose on Thursday. The multi-dinger night marked Muncy's first as a professional, and his four hits were also a career best per Michael Avallone of MLB.com. Muncy has multi-hit efforts in three of the Ports' last five games and is a sizzling 10-for-28 with two homers and four RBI in the last seven contests overall, but he's still carrying a bloated 31.4 percent strikeout rate across 207 plate appearances.

  • Athletics' Max Muncy: Off to fast start

    Muncy has gone 6-for-16 with two homers, two doubles and six RBI across his first four games for Low-A Stockton. The No. 25 pick in last year's draft, Muncy had a quiet debut in rookie ball last year, but his bat has been much louder to start this season. That said, he's also managed to strike out eight times in 18 plate appearances, so there's still plenty of work for him to do. At just 19 years old, he's at least two or three years away from the majors, but there's certainly intriguing upside to be found here. And no, despite their similarities, he's not related to the Dodgers' Max Muncy.
