Jordan Montgomery Drops 20-25 Pounds
Arizona Diamondbacks left-hander Jordan Montgomery said he dropped 20 to 25 pounds this offseason after his disappointing 2024 campaign with the team. "I know my season wasn't great, and I expect a lot of myself," Montgomery said. The 32-year-old veteran southpaw helped the Texas Rangers win the World Series in the fall of 2023 before joining Arizona right before the start of the 2024 season. He imploded with a 6.23 ERA (4.48 FIP) and 1.65 WHIP with 83 strikeouts and 44 walks in 117 innings over 25 appearances (21 starts) for the Snakes. Perhaps Montgomery will pitch better this year now that he's had a normal offseason and is in better shape, but there's also no guarantee he'll open the season in the starting rotation after how bad he was a season ago. He saw his strikeout rate dip to 15.6% while posting a 41% hard-hit rate. Montgomery is outside of RotoBaller's top-100 fantasy starting pitchers.
