Those players are Betts, Freeman, Martinez and Muncy, the last of whom continues to personify three-true-outcome baseball, ranking second on the team in homers, walks and strikeouts. For the fourth straight year, Muncy has blasted at least 35 homers. And for the fourth time in the last six years, he is running a walk rate better than 14% with a strikeout rate over 25%.
Muncy has looked more consistent at the plate as the year has progressed. He has hits in 22 of his past 26 games, including 11 straight before going hitless Thursday. With plenty of chances to hit with runners on base, behind Betts, the Dodgers' cleanup hitter — who recorded his second walk-off hit of the year Tuesday — has recorded a career-high 102 RBI on the season, one short of Betts for the team lead.
"I don't know what it's going to be like, so I just try and play the same game," Outman told FOX Sports."That's ultimately what it is, just more eyes."is enjoying a resurgent first season in Los Angeles as the team's right fielder against right-handed starters.
