Lazaro Montes Hits Home Run No. 12 on Tuesday
Lazaro Montes went 2-for-4 with a walk and a two-run home run on Tuesday for High-A Everett. The 6-foot-5 slugger's 12 home runs for the season lead the Northwest League, as do his 34 RBI and .954 OPS. The 20-year-old has picked it up at the plate over the last couple of weeks, going 16-for-50 (.320) with five home runs in 13 games. With his big power comes a high strikeout rate, posting a 26.2 percent K% so far this year, but it is partially offset by a strong 15.6 percent walk rate. Now with a total of 101 games under his belt at High-A, where he's performed well between '24 and '25, the powerful Cuban should be in the mix for a promotion to Double-A in the near future.
