Max Muncy has made a notable change to his game with the introduction of prescription glasses, aimed at enhancing his batting performance. The Dodgers’ third baseman, who has a solid vision of 20/12, discovered he has astigmatism in his right eye, leading him to experiment with eyewear to optimize his sight as a left-handed hitter. Muncy recently ended a frustrating 28-game home run drought with a powerful swing that resulted in a home run during his first at-bat after donning the glasses.

While Muncy has shown improvements in his swing prior to wearing glasses, this new accessory could further enhance his vision at the plate. The adjustments seem to be working; he delivered a robust performance in a recent game, including a triple and a walk. Muncy is not alone in this venture, as teammate Kiké Hernández had previously benefited from glasses midseason, experiencing a significant improvement in his batting average and post-season performance once he adapted.
