Max Muncy Credited with 404-Foot GIDP in NLCS Game 1's Wild Double Play

Max Muncy was at the center of a chaotic and "wackiest double play" during NLCS Game 1 between the Los Angeles Dodgers and Brewers on October 14, 2025. In the fourth inning, with bases loaded and one out, Muncy hit a 404-foot fly ball to deep center field. Brewers center fielder Sal Frelick missed a jumping catch, with the ball bouncing off the wall and back into his glove. Confusion ensued among Dodgers runners, particularly Teoscar Hernández at third, who initially left and then went back to tag. This allowed the Brewers to retire Hernández on a force out at home, followed by catcher William Contreras running the ball to third for an unlikely double play. Despite the 404-foot distance, Muncy, an extreme fly-ball hitter, was officially credited with a GIDP, leaving the game scoreless instead of a potential 1-0 or multi-run lead for the Dodgers.
