Max Muncy has embraced a new look in a bid to enhance his performance on the field. During the Dodgers' recent series against the Braves, Muncy wore prescription eyeglasses, a decision stemming from his diagnosis of astigmatism. Interestingly, his vision is otherwise quite sharp at 20/12. Despite a rough start to the season, marked by a career-long 28-game home run drought, Muncy seemed to find his stride, hitting his first home run of the season in his first at-bat after donning the glasses.

Muncy's struggles weren’t solely about vision; he also made swing adjustments that contributed to his recent uptick in performance, where he recorded three hits over two games leading up to the series. He acknowledged the challenges of adapting to glasses during gameplay but expressed optimism about their potential benefits. Muncy is not alone in this journey; last year, teammate Kiké Hernández experienced a similar transformation after discovering he too had astigmatism. The two players highlight the potential for adjustments in play style, as both saw improvements after adjusting to their lenses.
