View Draft Report
School: Cypress (Calif.) HS
Commit/Drafted: Arizona State
Age at Draft: 18.7
Montgomery is a large, 6-foot-4, 210-pound infielder and catcher who has bigtime power upside and also put together a solid offensive summer against quality competition. He has plenty of strength and above-average raw power now, and while he has some length in his swing thanks to his levers he did a nice job handling velocity and staying within the zone on his swings. There is a step in the bucket action in his swing, which will create holes on the outer third of the strike zone and could be an area for improvement moving forward. He’ll need to work to stick behind the plate at the next level, but his above-average arm strength and reasonable hands and actions should give him every opportunity to do so. If not he profiles as a first baseman. Montgomery is committed to Arizona State.
