22-Year-Old ShortstopSS
Sacramento Athletics
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Muncy's first showing at Triple-A as a 21-year-old was quite impressive last season, but a nagging hand injury limited him to 50 games in the Pacific Coast League and prevented a likely 2024 big-league debut. Muncy was drafted 25th overall out of high school in 2021, and he logged strikeout rates of 29.5 percent or higher at every early assignment of his career until he reached Double-A in 2023 and struck out at a 23.2 percent clip. Last year, he slashed .277/.374/.491 with eight home runs, four steals and a 24.6 percent strikeout rate as the second-youngest player to get 200-plus plate appearances in the PCL (behind Marlins first baseman Deyvison De Los Santos). Muncy's defensive versatility and above-average throwing arm should buy him playing time this summer for the Athletics, as he can play all over the diamond and may get a chance to prove he's the team's third baseman of the future. He isn't flashy, but Muncy has above-average power and speed, which could lead to 25-homer/15-steal steal seasons at peak. Read Past Outlooks

Hits first MLB homer
SSSacramento Athletics
March 29, 2025
Muncy went 1-for-5 with a solo home run during the Athletics' 7-0 victory over Seattle on Friday.
ANALYSIS
Muncy can officially check off "first MLB hit" and "first MLB home run" off his bucket list, as he accomplished both in one swing of the bat against Tayler Saucedo during the eighth inning of Friday's contest. Although he now boasts a career .500 slugging percentage, fantasy managers should view the 22-year-old as more of a contact hitter while he fills in for the injured Zack Gelof (wrist) at second base.
