Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Max Muncy and his wife, Kellie, announced the birth of their daughter, Macie Grace Muncy on Thursday.
“Macie Grace our hearts and hands have never been more full, welcome to the world baby girl” Kellie and Max Muncy wrote via Instagram.
Macie Grace makes three children for the Muncy family, with daughter Sophie Kate being born in July 2021 and son Wyatt James being born in April 2023.
Dodgers Nation offers its congratulations to the Muncy family.
Will Max Muncy Be With the Dodgers in 2026?
Muncy has had a busy offseason, as the Dodgers picked up his $10 million option towards the beginning of the offseason.
At present, Muncy is the Dodgers’ starting third baseman for the upcoming year, and given how he performed when healthy last season, there’s no reason for that to change.
While the veteran third baseman had a slow start to the 2025 season, managing just a .194 batting average and a .610 OPS through the end of April. In May and June, though, Muncy was arguably the best hitter in the Dodgers’ lineup.
In May, Muncy batted .250 with five homers and 26 RBIs. He continued his tear into June, hitting another seven homers and driving in 26 more runs.
The third baseman landed on the injured list at the beginning of July, effectively ending his hot streak, and returned to the injured list just 10 days after coming back from his initial injury.
If Muncy can remain healthy in the 2026 season and find the form he had in 2025, the Dodgers will have a multitude of huge bats to contribute to their high-powered offense next season.
How Long Has Max Muncy Been a Dodger?
Muncy joined the Dodgers at the beginning of the 2017 season after the A’s released him. He didn’t feature for the team in 2017, but made his first appearance in Dodger blue the following season. He immediately made an impact, posting a .973 OPS in his first full season at the MLB level.
The following season, Muncy made his first All-Star appearance and received MVP votes for the second season in a row. He has featured for the Dodgers in every season since, and has stated time after time he wants to retire a Dodger.
With his contract winding down, the Dodgers will hope to give Muncy a good send off, whenever his retirement may come. Muncy will look to help secure the first three-peat in Dodgers franchise history in 2026 as a start.
