News and notes on the Padres’ third-day selections from Major League Baseball’s amateur draft
A Team USA pitcher with good arm talent and the potential of a plus fastball/slider combo.“Montgomery looks the part as a big, strong right-hander with the potential to have a four-pitch mix — all at least average — in the future. It starts with a fastball that he had thrown in the 94-98 mph range in the past but was averaging around 93 mph this spring, albeit with good run and sink. He complements it with a hard mid-80s slider that can miss bats, but he overthrows it at times.
He uses a newer upper-80s cutter and has decent feel for a changeup, though he doesn’t throw it much.”“Previously a strong strike-thrower, Montgomery looked out of sorts this spring in terms of command. His stock has fallen significantly since his prep days, but there’s solid arm talent still here for a team that believes it can give him the necessary tweaks to unlock him in pro ball.
