Lazaro Montes Enjoying Big August At High-A
4 months agoSeattle Mariners outfield prospect Lazaro Montes has continued to stay hot in the batter's box in August at High-A. Since the start of the month, the 19-year-old has held an incredible .400/.455/.600 slash line with two home runs, seven RBI, and one swiped bag. In this span, Montes has posted six multi-hit games. Overall, through his first 35 games at High-A Everett, the outfielder has posted a solid .245/.338/.345 line, but his recent surge could suggest the budding star may be turning the corner. Earlier this summer at Single-A Modesto, Montes held a .309/.411/.527 line with 13 home runs through 65 games. Montes has jumped up prospect rankings all summer and now sits as the 48th-best in the sport and third-best in Seattle on MLB.com.
