Fantasy Impact

After missing the final stretch of the 2024 season due to an unspecified injury, Muncy appears fully recovered and ready for a full workload this spring. The 22-year-old shortstop prospect has struggled early in Cactus League action, going hitless with one walk in his first five plate appearances.
