Rockies rookie Elehuris Montero remains a work in progress in the field, as a sloppy throwing error from third base in the fourth inning of Sunday’s game illustrated. But there is no denying his power at the plate.
But there is no denying his power at the plate.
But there are holes in Montero’s approach at the plate that require plugging. His 32.9% strikeout rate vs. a 4.2% walk rate, plus his .294 on-base percentage, are numbers that reveal a work in progress. “Mantiply’s an All-Star with good secondary stuff — a slider and a change, down below the zone,” Black said. “That’s the thing that ‘Monty’ needs to work on. He’s had a tendency to swing at the low, soft pitch. That’s where the challenge is moving forward. But he’ll get there.”Colorado Rockies’ Chad Kuhl pitches against Milwaukee Brewers’ Willy Adames during the second inning of a baseball game Sunday, July 24, 2022, in Milwaukee.
