Max Muncy Remains a Top Power Hitter to Target on the Waiver Wire
Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Max Muncy is off to an excellent start to the 2026 season, hitting .254/.338/.556 with six home runs, seven RBI, and 14 runs scored across his first 71 plate appearances. The 35-year-old owns a stellar 15.4% barrel rate and a ridiculous 59% hard-hit rate, which would be the best mark of his career over a full season by over seven percentage points. The lefty-swinging Muncy is still at risk of losing some playing time against same-handed pitching, which limits his fantasy upside. He's also currently striking out in 33.8% of his plate appearances and owns a career batting average of .230. Still, Muncy remains an elite source of power on a per-plate appearance basis. He's also posting a double-digit walk rate for the 10th consecutive season, which keeps his playing time and ability to score runs consistent even if he slumps at the plate. For fantasy managers looking for power on the waiver wire, Muncy is a high-end option.
