This is why Los Angeles Dodgers' Max Muncy recently entered the batter's box wearing glasses. In other words, glasses are the driving force behind the recent explosive hit.
Muncy led the game to extra time by hitting a solo home run in the bottom of the ninth inning when he was 4-5 behind the New York Mets at Dodger Stadium on the 4th (Korea time). Mets right-hander Wasca Brazovan's high fastball in the middle of 96.8 miles led to a solo home run that went well over the right-center fence, tying the game 5-5.
The Dodgers came from behind to win 6-5 in the bottom of the 10th inning when Freddie Freeman hit a walk-off double over the height of left fielder Brandon Nemo with one out and runners on the first and second bases. Muncy's equalizer in the ninth inning was the decisive shot.
Muncy widened the gap to 4-1 by shooting a superior two-run home run in his first at-bat after the Dodgers turned the tables 2-1 with Freeman's double and Will Smith's ground ball in the bottom of the first inning, trailing 0-1. He had two hits, three RBIs and two runs from four times at bat, including two homers.

Analysts say that Muncy, who was expected to be released after showing a severe slump at the beginning of the season, was revived due to glasses.
Muncy said after the game that `I don't want to talk about glasses. Because it could mean that I didn't do well for years before that. But it is true that it is thanks to glasses. But I want to put more trust in what I've worked hard for and that I believe in myself. Glasses didn't happen to be worn. It means that it is helping me now."
Muncy began wearing glasses at home against the Miami Marlins on May 1.
According to MLB.com , Muncy hit .180 with an OPS of 0.531 and five long balls without a home run in 28 games before wearing glasses this season. However, since he entered the batter's box wearing glasses, he has marked 13 long balls in 29 games, including a batting average of 0.277, an OPS of 1.015 and nine home runs. It's a clear difference to anyone's eyes. For this reason, Muncy does not deny that after wearing glasses, his sense of hitting has soared.
Muncy is said to have relatively bad right eye. MLB.com reported that Muncy had pretty good eyesight before, but visited the optometrist that Quique Hernandez visited for astigmatism last year and found that she had a better left eye. Kike, who had severe astigmatism, reportedly found a sense of hit after wearing glasses during last season.
