Muncy Nearing Karros' LA Dodgers HR Record
3 Jul
Summary
- Max Muncy is 44 home runs shy of Eric Karros' Dodgers LA franchise record.
- Muncy also trails Karros by one home run for most at Dodger Stadium.
- Karros believes Shohei Ohtani will eventually surpass Muncy's home run records.
Max Muncy is steadily approaching Eric Karros' franchise records for home runs in the Los Angeles Dodgers era. Muncy currently needs 44 more home runs to match Karros' 270 career homers for the club. He is also on the cusp of tying Karros for the most home runs hit at Dodger Stadium, requiring just one more long ball to reach 130.
Karros, a former Dodger and current broadcaster, acknowledges Muncy's pursuit of his records. He expressed admiration for Muncy's consistent performance, especially considering the presence of other high-profile stars like Mookie Betts, Freddie Freeman, and Shohei Ohtani. Karros highlighted that Muncy's importance to the team often goes underappreciated despite his impact.
Recently, Muncy has experienced a resurgence in his 2026 season, boasting a career-best .265 batting average and impressive slugging percentage. He attributes his improved health to a recent "hydrodissection" procedure that addressed scar tissue. This renewed vigor positions Muncy to potentially break Karros' records, with Karros jokingly predicting that Shohei Ohtani might eventually claim the record.
