2026 Fantasy Outlook
Few minor leaguers are on Montes' level as a power hitter, it's just a question of where his ratios (AVG, OBP) will settle against big-league pitching. The towering 6-foot-5 lefty slugger from Cuba slashed .268/.387/.572 with 18 home runs and a 27.6 percent strikeout rate in 67 games at High-A and slashed .213/.319/.433 with 14 home runs and a 30.5 percent strikeout rate in 64 games at Double-A. Montes didn't turn 21 until after the 2025 season, so his struggles at Double-A aren't a death knell, but they confirmed that he's still very much a power-over-hit prospect. Montes has plenty of arm for right field, but he's not a good mover and isn't a valuable overall defender. He should return to Double-A for the first half of 2026 before closing the year at Triple-A. Given that he's not on the 40-man roster, Montes would likely have to master the upper levels to get the call this season. Read Past Outlooks
