Lazaro Montes Fantasy Stats

Seattle Mariners outfield prospect Lazaro Montes will begin the season at Double-A Arkansas, per Francys Romero of BeisbolFR.com. The Mariners' fourth-ranked prospect played nearly half of his games in 2025 there after starting the season at High-A. The powerful left-handed hitter blasted 32 home runs in '25, 14 of which came in 64 games at Double-A. With his big-time power comes a lot of swing-and-miss, though, as the 6-foot-5 slugger registered a 30.5 percent strikeout rate during his time with Arkansas (career 27.1 percent K%). It was somewhat offset by a strong 12.4 percent walk rate (career 15.2 percent BB%), but with just a .213 AVG at Double-A, the team would surely like to see the Cuban take a step forward in 2026 before sending him on to Triple-A. With a strong showing at both levels, there's a chance MLB's No. 43 overall prospect makes a late-season debut, but 2027 is when he'll likely begin making an impact for fantasy. Redraft managers should keep an eye on his progress, as the power is for real, and if he gets the call in September, he could provide a home-run boost for teams in need.

Seattle Mariners outfield prospect Lazaro Montes will likely begin the 2026 season with Double-A Arkansas, but should be in the mix to push for a promotion to the top level given his previous experience at Double-A. In 2025, the budding power hitter began the campaign with High-A Everett, where he spent 51 games back in 2024. During his second stint with High-A last season, Montes held a .268/.387/.572 line with 12 doubles, 18 home runs, and three stolen bases. He struck out 83 times and drew 48 walks. This performance earned him a mid-season promotion to Double-A, where he saw his production take a slight step back. While he still launched 14 home runs over a 64-game stint, his average fell to .213, and his K:BB (86:35) declined as well. If the 6-foot-5 slugger can show progress early in the season at Double-A, Seattle could look to promote him after the opening months. If he can lower his strikeout rate and show stable power production, a late-season MLB debut would not be out of the question.

Seattle Mariners outfield prospect Lazaro Montes homered for the fourth time in his last four games on Saturday at Double-A Arkansas, which has also included six RBI and six runs scored over that stretch. The Mariners' third-ranked prospect is up to 32 home runs on the season, which is tied for the minor league lead. He's hitting just .224 with a 30.7 percent strikeout rate with Arkansas through 46 games, but has continued to draw walks at an above-average rate of 13.1 percent to help offset that. The 20-year-old needs to cut down on the K%, but his power is what will eventually propel him to the big leagues, which could come as soon as later next year or 2027.

Seattle Mariners outfield prospect Lazaro Montes was able to break out of his power slump on Thursday evening during their contest against Double-A Northwest Arkansas. In this contest, Montes went 2-for-4 at the plate with a round-tripper, two RBI, and a walk. Over his last nine games, Montes carried a low .176/.263/.206 line with one double and a 13:4 K:BB. Since moving up to Double-A earlier this season, the No. 2-ranked prospect in the system on MLB.com has had mixed results, carrying a .223/.323/.453 line with four doubles, two triples, eight home runs, and two stolen bases. However, earlier in the season with High-A, Montes held a .268/.387/.572 line with an elite .959 OPS. Given his high power upside, Montes is worth closely monitoring as he could push his MLB debut late next season.

Seattle Mariners outfield prospect Lazaro Montes has hit a bit of a cold stretch at Double-A. Over his last 12 games, the budding star has posted a modest .167/.245/.310 slash line. During this stretch, he has held a hefty 34.7% K rate and only hit one home run. However, during his first 16 games at Double-A Arkansas, Montes looked quite comfortable, hitting six home runs and holding a solid 19:13 K:BB. Earlier this season, the No. 23-ranked prospect in baseball (according to MLB.com) opened the campaign at High-A and held a .268/.387/.572 slash line with 12 doubles and 18 round-trippers. Despite the small skid, Montes is a high-end hitting prospect and a top stash in dynasty formats. If he can turn the corner before the season's end, he could remain on track to make his MLB debut late next season.

Through this stint, Montes held a .269/.387/.572 slash line with 12 doubles and 18 home runs. In total, Montes' 23 long balls this season tie with the most home runs in the minor leagues alongside Ryan Ward of the Dodgers.

Through his first 13 games at the level, Montes has held a .298/.424/.660 slash line with a double, two triples, four long balls, a stolen base, and a 14:11 K:BB. Earlier this season, Montes received his second look at High-A ball and posted a .268/.387.572 line with 12 doubles and 18 home runs across 67 games. Even though Montes will not be in the mix to reach the majors this season, he is quickly progressing through the Seattle system. If he continues this pace, he may earn a brief taste of Triple-A later in the second half and be on track to reach Seattle in 2026.

The 21 home runs are the most in all the minor leagues, and after belting 21 all of last year as a 19-year-old, he'll blow past that number in 2025. The Mariners' second-ranked prospect should continue to add to his resume and is on track for a debut in the majors at some point next season.
