In spite of what many evaluators likely rubber-stamped as a bad body, Munoz's bat and swing as an amateur were too good for the Marlins to ignore. He ranked among the top hitters in the South Atlantic League in 2014. While Greensboro's NewBridge Bank Park is a bandbox, Munoz's power is legit. He hit nearly as many homers on the road (seven) as at home (nine), and his 16 bombs led the Grasshoppers. He has strong plate discipline and strike-zone recognition to go with his pop, and he makes fairly consistent contact. He's a consistent, solid-average defender who led SAL first basemen with a .994 fielding percentage. While he's a below-average runner, Munoz could see time in left field at high Class A Jupiter.
