Drafted by A's in first round The A's have selected Muncy with the 25th overall pick in the 2021 first-year player draft.
Impact A prep infielder with a strong offensive foundation, Muncy has a perfect body for his age, measuring in at 6-foot-1, 170 pounds. There is room for him to add good weight and maintain his athleticism. He hits right-handed and uses the whole field, projecting to be at least an average hitter with at least average power. Muncy is also an above-average runner, but it's not clear how much he will look to run by the time he reaches the majors. His defensive tools are less exciting, but he should be able to handle second or third base if he has to move off shortstop. He performed well this spring against good competition in Southern California and was a late riser up draft boards.

Three hits, homer Muncy went 3-for-5 with a double, three-run home run and an additional run in Los Angeles' 7-4 triumph against Arizona on Sunday.
Impact Muncy got going late with a sixth-inning double, eighth-inning single and game-tying run and a walk-off-three-run home run in the ninth. The infielder has now hit safely in each of his last five games, is fifth in the majors with 58 walks and is one of five qualified players with more walks than strikeouts. He enters the break with a .270/.414/.559 slash line, 19 home runs, 54 runs and 52 RBI in 78 games.

Plates two in blowout win Muncy went 1-for-3 with a double, two RBI and a run scored Saturday in the Dodgers' 22-1 win over the Diamondbacks.
Impact Muncy did all his damage in four innings before manager Dave Roberts subbed him out of the contest while the Dodgers held a comfortable 9-0 lead. Since slugging four home runs in a five-game stretch between June 25 and July 1, Muncy has failed to leave the yard, but he's still maintained a solid .743 OPS over the past week and a half while striking out only three times in nine contests.
