Luis Montano

[The Duke]

I usually don't get too excited about 23 year olds in Low A, but yesterday Montano threw a one hitter over 6 innings with 8 Ks and no BB. On the year he is:

4-0
1.27 ERA
.139 BAA
28^1/3 IP
22 K
8 BB
0 HR given up

I'd say that he needs High A sooner rather than later so we can see if we actually have something here or just a guy who looks good in Low A.

What's he got? rhp 6' 180 lbs out of the DR. Better late than never, i suppose. Numbers in Billings were not all that bad. I like that he was the Reds' Minor League Pitcher of the Month for July (5-1, 1.54era, 35ip, 6bb, 26k, 6g/5gs) according to minorleaguebaseball.com

I've never heard a scouting report on him and I haven't had a chance to listen to his starts on teh radio or see him in person yet, but he is a righty from the DR, 6'0 180 lbs. He went 8-4 for Billings last year as a starter, and had a cup of coffey in Sarasota as a relief pitcher last year at the end of the year.

Hopefully, Star has a scouting report on him.
