Jordan Montgomery 2024 Player Outlook: A Model Of Consistency
11 months agoFree-agent left-hander Jordan Montgomery has simply been among the most consistent, durable pitchers in baseball over the last three seasons. After making 32 starts and pitching a career-high 188 2/3 innings in 2023, the 31-year-old is tied for sixth in starts over the last three seasons with 94 while pitching to a rock-solid 3.48 ERA in that time. He's also walked just 6.2% of the batters he has faced in that stretch. He reached double-digit wins (10) for the first time in 2023, including a 4-2 record alongside a 2.79 ERA in 11 starts with Texas after going just 6-9 despite a 3.42 ERA in 21 starts with the Cardinals. He won't deliver much in the strikeout department with a career 22.5% K%, including a 21.4% mark last season, but his 15.9% K-BB% remains solid and he could rack up plenty of wins if he signs with a contender. Nonetheless, he's a safe play wherever he plays in 2024 at a 145.50 ADP, even if his ceiling has already been met.
