While with the Kinston Indians of the Carolina League, Munoz threw a no-hitter against the Prince William Cannons on May 26, 1991.

On March 28, 1992, Munoz and Curt Leskanic were traded to the Minnesota Twins organization for Paul Sorrento. While with Nashville in the Southern League, Munoz was named to the 1993 all-star team and was awarded Southern League Pitcher of the Year honors.
