2023 Projections
2023 Fantasy Outlook
Montero made his MLB debut in 2022 and was solid in his first taste of the majors with a .233/.270/.432 slash line in 53 games. He struggled with strikeouts at time in the minors, which carried over to the big leagues with a 32.4 percent strikeout rate, and his 4.3 percent walk rate was also poor. However, those numbers at Triple-A were manageable, and he likely doesn't have much else to prove at the highest level of the minors. Colorado's infield appears mostly set with C.J. Cron at first base, Brendan Rodgers at second and Ryan McMahon at third, while top prospect Ezequiel Tovar appears primed to start at shortstop. Montero doesn't have a clear path to regular playing time to open 2023, so he may need to settle for a bench role early on, assuming he's able to crack the Opening Day roster. Read Past Outlooks

Ends season in slump
Montero went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts in Wednesday's loss to the Dodgers.
ANALYSIS
Montero ended his season with a hitless performance and batted only .150 across his last 12 games. He made his big-league debut in 2022 and maintained a solid .199 ISO, but he also had a .233/.270/.432 line thanks to a 32.4 percent strikeout rate. Montero will be a candidate to earn playing time at the corner infield spots and designated hitter to begin the 2023 campaign.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2021
2019
The top hitter the Rockies got back in last offseason's trade that sent Nolan Arenado to St. Louis, Montero made a strong impression in his first season with his new organization. He hit .278/.360/.529 with 28 home runs, a 21.8 K% and a 10.6 BB% in 499 PA across Double-A and Triple-A. Montero is an aggressive hitter and a shaky defender at the infield corners, but with the designated hitter likely coming to the National League, there will be another way for him to get in the lineup. He has plus raw power, and while he may only have a 40-grade hit tool, Coors Field could help him hit for a passable average. The Rockies' depth chart is very fluid, but given that Montero is on the 40-man roster, he will likely make his big-league debut sometime this season.
