Track Record: Muñoz signed with the Braves out of the Dominican Republic in 2019 and, until 2023, pitched alongside his twin brother, Roddery, in Atlanta’s minor league system. In 2024, Roddery pitched in the majors with the Marlins while Rolddy posted a 4.24 ERA as a reliever with High-A Rome and Double-A Mississippi. His 34.6% strikeout rate was the best of any Braves minor leaguer with 50 innings. After the season, the Braves added him to the 40-man roster to protect him from the Rule 5 draft.
Scouting Report: A 6-foot-2, 183-pound righthander, Muñoz is a no-doubt reliever with a well-developed frame and lengthy, but fluid arm path. He throws both a four-seam and two-seam fastball that both sit 97-98 mph and touch 100 consistently, with the two-seamer being the more effective fastball shape of the two. His hellacious upper-80s slider is his go-to offering, boasting an excellent combination of power and movement. Among minor league sliders and sweepers that averaged at least 88 mph in 2024, Muñoz’s 10 inches of glove-side movement was some of the most in the game. It’s a lethal breaking ball with snappy biting action that helped him drive nearly a 25% swinging strike rate and pops on Stuff+ models. Muñoz is a below-average strike-thrower with a 10.7% career walk rate.
The Future: Muñoz looks like a big league reliever and being added to the 40-man roster could give him an opportunity in 2025. He has high-leverage stuff, but his control might limit him to a mid- or low-leverage role.
Scouting Grades: Fastball: 60 | Slider: 70 | Control: 40.
