Max Muncy Breaks Eric Karros' Dodger Stadium Home Run Record

Max Muncy delivers a pinch-hit 3-run home run against Milwaukee on August 13, 2026, securing his 131st regular-season home run at Chavez Ravine.

On August 13, 2026, Los Angeles Dodgers slugger Max Muncy carved his name into franchise history by hitting his 131st regular-season home run at Dodger Stadium.[1][2]

The landmark hit occurred under dramatic circumstances: stepping to the plate as a pinch hitter against the Milwaukee Brewers, Muncy launched a go-ahead three-run home run into the right-field seats.[1][2][3]

In a poetic moment for broadcast viewers, former Dodgers first baseman Eric Karros—who held the previous record of 130 regular-season home runs at Chavez Ravine set between 1991 and 2002—was calling the game live inside the SportsNet LA television booth when Muncy launched the record-breaking blast.[1]

Muncy had previously tied Karros at 130 home runs on July 28, 2026, setting up a highly anticipated chase for sole possession of the venue record.[1]

Exploring Max Muncy's transformation from a released minor leaguer into a cornerstone power hitter for the Dodgers.

Max Muncy's rise to the top of Dodger Stadium's home run leaderboard represents one of the most remarkable career revivals in modern baseball history.[1]

After being released by the Oakland Athletics prior to the 2017 season, Muncy signed a minor league contract with Los Angeles and overhauled his hitting mechanics, focusing on elite plate discipline and optimized launch angles.[1]

Since establishing himself in the Dodgers' starting lineup in 2018, Muncy has consistently delivered clutch power output, combining over 180 total regular-season home runs in Dodger blue alongside 14 postseason home runs.[1]

Dodger Stadium All-Time Home Run Leaderboard Breakdown

Comparing the top home run hitters in Chavez Ravine history and why Muncy's pull swing thrives in Los Angeles.

Dodger Stadium has long been regarded as a neutral or slightly pitcher-friendly ballpark due to its expansive outfield gaps and evening atmospheric conditions. However, left-handed hitters with strong pull rates have periodically unlocked significant power advantages at Chavez Ravine.[1]

While Eric Karros relied on right-handed power down the left-field line and into the deep left-center gap during his 12-season tenure from 1991 to 2002, Muncy's left-handed swing leverages the shorter right-field porch to accumulate home runs at a rapid pace.[1]

  • Max Muncy: 131 regular-season home runs (Passed record holder on August 13, 2026)[1][2]
  • Eric Karros: 130 regular-season home runs (Held previous record set between 1991 and 2002)[1]
