Maxwell Muncy Thousand Oaks (Calif.) HS SS

 

Ht: 6-1 | Wt: 170 | B-T: R-R

Commit/Drafted: Arkansas

Age At Draft: 18.7

 

A 6-foot-1, 170-pound shortstop committed to Arkansas, Muncy has a solid collection of average to above-average tools led by an exciting hit/power combination. He has a chance to be at least an average hitter with average power and shows good rhythm and loose hands in the batter’s box, swinging with intent and showing an ability to put the barrel on the ball in a number of different spots. Muncy is an average runner with average arm strength, though most scouts think he’s more likely to move off of shortstop and play either third base or second long term. Wherever he winds up he should add defensive value, which makes his bat all the more appealing.

Muncy is yet another California middle infielder that can do a little bit of everything. Quick actions at the position with average hands. Average arm allows him to make most throws. Tall, lanky upper body with weight to come. Struggles a little to his right. Solid and smooth coming in. Very loud bat with stinging gap power. Pull-side power present. Excellent barrel angle and quick hands/wrists. Never gets beat on inside velo. Open stance, can get pull-happy. 

 

PG -

 

Maxwell Muncy is a 2021 IF/SS with a 6-1 170 lb. frame from Camarillo, CA who attends Thousand Oaks. Lean athletic build with plenty of physical projection. 6.93 runner, has bounce to his step and easy and polished infield actions on defense, hands work well at the ball and in his exchange/release, makes accurate throws with good carry. Right handed hitter, well timed leg lift trigger to start his swing, quick and direct line drive swing, works from gap to gap and showed carry up the opposite field game, very balanced and under control at the plate. Also pitched, works from the stretch, mid 3/4's arm slot. Worked mostly mid-80's with his fastball, topped out at 89 mph, gets good sinking life. Tended to lower slot more on his curveball. Pro typical polished Southern Californian middle infielder with high level skills 

 

Prospect Worldwide -

 

Maxwell Muncy – SS: Muncy has my absolute favorite swing and approach in the entire draft. It’s just so consistent and hardly shows any weaknesses. He has a strong Hit Tool (55) that shows potential of reaching 60’s in the future. Power (45+) that shows up to all fields with consistent high Exit Velocities with an ability to hand breaking balls, and fastballs above the letters with his quick hands. An Average Defender at Shortstop showing the necessary range, arm strength, and quickness to last at the position. Some projection left in the frame, and with his ability to drive the ball to all fields, likely could become a 20+ HR threat.


Mack's spin - 

Muncy is an average hitter with average speed and average hands. Notice the key word here?

I have him as a late Day 2 pick.
