View Draft Report
Montgomerie was draft-eligible as a sophomore in 2016 but wasn't selected. He returned to UConn for his junior year and saw an uptick in stuff early in the season, with his fastball reaching 95 mph. The righthander has late life on his high-spin fastball and generates tons of swings and misses, even against good American Athletic Conference hitters. His velocity was more modest in May, and scouts reported him pitching from 89-93. He has a fringy slider and his command comes and goes. Montgomerie struck out 116 batters in 89.1 innings this spring, but also walked 40. He's well-built at 6-foot-3 and 220 pounds, but a transition to the bullpen could allow his stuff to play up even more.
