Max Muncy on first game since injury Dodgers Spring Training 2022

Kirsten's with Max Muncy. Kirsten, thanks, guys. All right, well, Max, first game back out there on the field since your injury. How did it feel to be back out there? Felt really good to be back. You know, obviously you're not looking for a whole lot, just trying to get through the motions and get through a game and see how things feel. And it's almost like checking boxes. But yeah, I felt really good to be out there. I know you faced a live pitching for the first time last week. Where are you feeling just like at the plate? Do you feel that things are moving in the right direction, how you're seeing the ball and just how you're kind of progressing? Yeah, everything's moving in the right direction. You know, we're obviously not anywhere close to where we need to be right now, but it shouldn't take too much long. You know, it's really just more about getting the arm loosened and, you know, conditioned to swing in a bat. And, you know, there's only so many swings you can take on a backfield. You get in a game, get a little adrenaline going. And, you know, that's where we're at right now. Last year, we saw you, obviously, at first base with Freddie Freeman here. He'll be at first and we'll see you likely at second and third and then doing some DH. Does it take time for you to adjust to the different positions? Thankfully, I've been doing that for a number of years now. So it's I'm kind of the routine of it. Maybe not as much last year as a little more first base. But, you know, it's something that I've always worked on each day. You work in a new position and you just kind of get your work in before you do anything else. And you just got to keep putting in the work and not get complacent with it. And, you know, I don't think it'd be any different this year. So how has it been having a Freddie Freeman in the clubhouse with you guys? It's been good. We haven't really seen him, though. He's he's too busy doing stuff. You know, he's got he's got to do all his photos and his media stuff. And maybe the next couple of days he can come hang out with us. Who knows? So what's the plan for? You know, it's a beautiful day here in Arizona. What is what's it like for you after the games? I'm going to go home and be with my family. I take care of my little girl and watch her grow up a little bit. I love it. Well, Max, thank you so much. I appreciate it. It's good to see you back out there. Thanks.
