Fri Oct 18 03:20:00 UTC 2024: ## Muncy Makes History with Unprecedented On-Base Streak in NLCS
**NEW YORK** – Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Max Muncy etched his name in the MLB record books Thursday, reaching base in his 11th consecutive plate appearance, surpassing the previous record of 10 set by Cincinnati’s Billy Hatcher in 1990 and matched by Boston’s David Ortiz in 2007.
Muncy, a late-blooming power hitter, has been instrumental in the Dodgers’ postseason run. His streak started in Game 2 of the NLCS against the New York Mets, where he homered and walked twice. In Game 3, he added another homer, a single, and three walks. His dominance continued in Game 4, where he drew three walks, including two against Mets starter Jose Quintana.
The 33-year-old Muncy, who missed a significant portion of the regular season due to injury, has consistently delivered for the Dodgers when healthy. He is a valuable asset both defensively, playing third base and first, and offensively, boasting a .232/.358/.494 batting line with 15 home runs and 48 RBIs in 73 games.
Muncy’s historic streak comes as the Dodgers look to clinch the NLCS and advance to the World Series. His ability to reach base consistently puts pressure on opposing pitchers and paves the way for the Dodgers’ formidable offense to flourish.
