Lazaro Montes Hits Home Run No. 32 on Saturday
Lazaro Montes homered for the fourth time in his last four games on Saturday at Double-A Arkansas, which has also included six RBI and six runs scored over that stretch. The Mariners' third-ranked prospect is up to 32 home runs on the season, which is tied for the minor league lead. He's hitting just .224 with a 30.7 percent strikeout rate with Arkansas through 46 games, but has continued to draw walks at an above-average rate of 13.1 percent to help offset that. The 20-year-old needs to cut down on the K%, but his power is what will eventually propel him to the big leagues, which could come as soon as later next year or 2027.
