Lazaro Montes Goes Deep on Friday
Lazaro Montes went 2-for-4 with a double and a home run during their contest against High-A Tri-City on Friday evening. This performance snapped a seven-game power skid for the No. 2-ranked prospect in Seattle. During this minor skid, Montes posted a low .160/.300/.280 line with an 11:4 K:BB. However, over his last 14 games before the slump, the 20-year-old carried a .333/.410/.722 slash line with three doubles, six home runs, and a 15:7 K:BB. Montes has continued to show improvement at the High-A level and is nearing a promotion to Double-A. During his first taste of High-A last summer, Montes posted a solid .805 OPS. However, he has been able to raise that to a stellar .936 OPS through 60 games this season. Montes remains on track to contend for his MLB debut next summer.
