Lazaro Montes Breaks Out of Power Slump
Lazaro Montes was able to break out of his power slump on Thursday evening during their contest against Double-A Northwest Arkansas. In this contest, Montes went 2-for-4 at the plate with a round-tripper, two RBI, and a walk. Over his last nine games, Montes carried a low .176/.263/.206 line with one double and a 13:4 K:BB. Since moving up to Double-A earlier this season, the No. 2-ranked prospect in the system on MLB.com has had mixed results, carrying a .223/.323/.453 line with four doubles, two triples, eight home runs, and two stolen bases. However, earlier in the season with High-A, Montes held a .268/.387/.572 line with an elite .959 OPS. Given his high power upside, Montes is worth closely monitoring as he could push his MLB debut late next season.
