Background
Muñoz grew up in Santo Domingo, a city that has produced some of the finest pitching arms in baseball history. He worked his way through Atlanta’s farm system steadily, developing his repertoire at each level before earning his shot at the big leagues in September 2025.
He currently remains part of the Gwinnett Stripers organization — Atlanta’s Triple-A affiliate — where he continues to refine his craft and build on his MLB experience.
Professional Career
In his 2025 MLB debut, Muñoz threw 3.2 innings, striking out 5 batters but struggling with command and consistency, finishing with a 12.27 ERA and a 2.45 WHIP. Those numbers are a fair reflection of the adjustment curve any young pitcher faces in his first exposure to big-league hitters.
In 2026, his MLB appearances remained limited: 2.0 innings pitched, 3 strikeouts, a 13.50 ERA and a 3.00 WHIP. The results haven’t come yet, but Atlanta — an organization known for its patience with long-term pitching prospects — continues to invest in his development.

One Thing Worth Knowing
At 26, Muñoz is living out one of the classic Dominican baseball stories: a kid from Santo Domingo grinding toward a big-league career. The fact that Atlanta keeps him in the system and continues giving him MLB looks says something about how the organization views his ceiling. The numbers will need to improve — but the Braves clearly believe they will.
