Jordan Montgomery News
New York Yankees starting pitcher Jordan Montgomery came one out shy of a quality start in Wednesday's no-decision against the Minnesota Twins. Montgomery pitched 5 2/3 innings, allowing three earned runs on eight hits. He struck out six batters and generated 15 swinging strikes, 13 of them on his off-speed offerings. The southpaw allowed a two-run double in the first inning but kept the scoreboard clean until the sixth frame. Montgomery has gone at least five innings allowing three runs or less in each of his last two starts, lowering his season ERA to 3.99. He is lined up to face the Toronto Blue Jays for a second time on June 15. He allowed three runs over 4 2/3 innings in his first meeting against them.
New York Yankees starting pitcher Jordan Montgomery notched his third win of the season in Wednesday's victory over the Tampa Bay Rays.

The southpaw generated 10 whiffs and an average exit velocity of 88.1 MPH against, as he kept the Rays' lineup off balance.

New York Yankees starting pitcher Jordan Montgomery didn't factor into the decision in a shaky start on Thursday against the Toronto Blue Jays. Montgomery lasted just 4 2/3 innings, allowing three runs on five hits with two walks and one strikeout. The southpaw worked 1-2-3 frames in his first two innings before running into trouble in the third inning, where he surrendered a three-run homer to Bo Bichette. After striking out a career-high 11 batters in his last outing, Montgomery took a step backward in that department, fanning just one batter while registering five whiffs. He was pulled one out shy of qualifying for the win at 73 pitches. Montgomery will look to fare better in his third start of the year against the Tampa Bay Rays on June 2 after allowing four runs in each of his first two meetings against them.

There weren't many expectations for Montgomery last season, as he came into the year expecting his first full workload since undergoing Tommy John surgery during the 2018 season. While Montgomery's ERA last season was inflated at 5.11, there are still some encouraging things about his profile baked into the more advanced metrics. His FIP (3.87), xFIP (3.65), and SIERA (3.84) all suggest a different pitcher than what the ERA would lead you to believe. Notably, Montgomery's 24.4% strikeout rate easily trumped his 19.8% rate during his last extended run in 2018. Additionally, he also made improvements with his command. His walk rate was among the lowest in the league at 4.7%, primarily due to more fastballs ending up in the strike zone than in 2018 (53.5% vs. 48.4%). That being said, Montgomery still did have a home run issue last season, and that is something that may not go away with him pitching in the American League East. A high home run rate could cause him trouble, but the projections peg Montgomery with somewhere around a 4.20 ERA , which would definitely be valuable, especially at his current ADP in the neighborhood of pick 220. Playing time should not be an issue, as he should be pegged as the Yankees' number three starter. Overall, Montgomery needs to shore up the consistency, but he should be a nice late-round option at starting pitcher.
