Unlock the Mystery Behind Today’s Start of Meaningless Stats – What Are We Really Measuring?
Don’t get me wrong: spring training can indeed be a place jobs are won or lost. But not on numbers, by the many eyeballs focused on players who are on the bubble for a position or roster spot. So as the Cactus League opens today, here are some things to watch/listen for in the quest for the starting job at 3B or a bench role filling out the roster:
Max Muncy
Does he look more fluid and comfortable at 3B than when he learned it on the job during the 2025 season?
Can he maintain accuracy with his throws, something which has plagued Muncy whether at 2B, SS, or 3B?
Is he hitting the ball with more authority than the low exit velocities and barrel rates he showed in 2025?
