Player Outlook
Mason Montgomery has had a successful run in the Rays system since being drafted in the 6th round of the 2021 draft. The lefty has gone 14-7 with a 2.95 ERA, a 1.17 WHIP, and has 335 punchouts in 259 innings of work getting all the way up to Triple-A Durham to finish the 2023 season. He follows the organizational blueprint of working off a riding fastball with a great feel for a changeup while working in a slider. His Double-A numbers were likely impacted by the experimental testing of the baseballs in the Southern League as Montgomery was uncharacteristically generous with his walks and homers but remains on track to be in the periphery of consideration for usage by the Rays in 2024. He is currently not on their 40-man roster which inhibits his path to fantasy viability in 2024 unless the Rays either go through another round of injury attrition or the club does some roster reshuffling in December or January.

  • Rays' Mason Montgomery: Missing bats at Double-A

    Montgomery has a 3.99 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 66:19 K:BB in 47.1 innings over his last 10 starts for Double-A Montgomery. The 23-year-old lefty has given up one home run in eight of those 10 starts and he has only gone five-plus innings in three of the 10, but Montgomery is excelling at striking batters out and limiting baserunners. He is not on the 40-man roster, so while he could climb to Triple-A this summer, a bump to the majors may have to wait until 2024.

  • Rays' Mason Montgomery: Dominant in two Double-A starts

    Montgomery has a 1.50 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 10 strikeouts in six innings through two starts with Double-A Montgomery. The 22-year-old lefty was excellent in 11 starts at Double-A last year, sporting a 2.48 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 53 strikeouts in 54.1 innings. Montgomery is one of the most underrated pitching prospects in the minors, as he has a dominant fastball that plays above its low-90s velocity -- like a left-handed Joe Ryan -- in addition to a plus changeup. He should get a bump to Triple-A Durham sometime this season and could spend most of 2024 in the majors.
