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

Hitting bench Sunday
SSSacramento Athletics
June 22, 2025
Muncy is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Guardians.
ANALYSIS
Muncy will hit the bench after a stretch of 13 consecutive starts during which he slashed .217/.275/.413 with three home runs, one stolen base and nine RBI. Gio Urshela will get the start at third base Sunday, but Muncy should serve as the primary option at the position until one of Zack Gelof (ribs) or Miguel Andujar (oblique) is ready to return from the injured list.
