Dodgers News: Muncy Sets All-Time Dodgers Postseason Home Run Record
Say hello to the new all-time Dodgers home run leader
MILWAUKEE, WI—The Los Angeles Dodgers took a commanding two-game series lead over the Milwaukee Brewers in the 2025 National League Championship Series, in large part to Max Muncy, who clobbered his first home run of the postseason in yesterday’s Game Two 5-1 win.
The solo shot in the sixth inning off Brewers right-handed pitcher Freddy Peralta pushed the Dodgers’ lead to 3-1, and despite Peralta’s efforts to convince Pat Murphy to remain in the game, it backfired.
Until that home run, Muncy was tied for first place on the all-time Dodgers postseason home run leaderboard with former Dodgers Corey Seager and Justin Turner, each with thirteen.
Seager played in 61 postseason games (60 starts) for the Dodgers over six years. His outstanding performance in 2020 earned him NLCS and World Series MVP honors, helping the Dodgers secure their first championship since 1988.
Turner participated in 86 playoff games (83 starts) over nine postseason appearances with the Dodgers. His most notable October home run was a walk-off shot against the Chicago Cubs in the 2017 NLCS. Interestingly, Turner’s walk-off home run occurred on the anniversary of Kirk Gibson’s famous home run in the 1988 World Series.
What makes the moment even more special is that Muncy was signed as a minor league free agent after being released by the Oakland A’s during the 2017 season.
A year later, he’d been a massive part of the Dodgers lineup as they returned to the World Series during the 2018 season, a testament to the Dodgers organization as they’ve shown they’re not just a team that will outspend you, but take chances on other teams’ trash.
The record matters because of the uniform. “It means a lot to me,” Muncy said after passing the Dodgers franchise mark for postseason homers. “The Dodgers are a franchise that has been around for a very, very long time. A lot of very successful players have played in this organization, and to be able to break that record is kind of huge for me.”
Muncy’s career is slashing .222/.394/.444 with a .839 OPS in seventy games for Los Angeles, along with eight doubles, thirty-five RBIs, and sixty walks.
