Let us talk about Max Muncy and the MVP

Who is Max Muncy? Well my fellow posters om rhe MSB, Max Muncy plays baseball and was released by the As following 2016 playing 96 games over two years and being very unremarkable, if not flat out bad and was on his way to being out of the league. Then the Dodgers picked him for 2017 and he stayed in AAA until injuries early on invoked his call up.

So getting that out if the way, why this thread? Well

Here are the NL players who have accumulated more WAR than Muncy:

Nolan Arenado
Lorenzo Cain

Here are the NL players who have qualified and have accumulated more WAR than Muncy on a per game and per at bat basis:



Here are the qualified players in the NL who have a higher wOBA or wRC+:



Here are all of the players in baseball with a higher wOBA or wRC+:

Mookie Betts
Mike Trout

Here are all of the qualified players in the NL with a higher xwOBA:



Here are all of the qualified players in all of baseball who have a higher xwOBA:

Mookie Betts



So. Max Muncy, a dude who was never replacement level at the plate turns into the best offensive player in the National League for the first half and whole not playing necessarily good or exemplary defense, has not been bad either

This has to be the storyline of the first half 4ight? The fact that this guy is one of the two or three legit candidates for MVP is insane
