2023 Fantasy Outlook
The lefty almost turned himself into a meme with how good he was initially after being traded from the Yankees to the Cardinals in early August. Montgomery allowed just a single earned run in his first four starts for St. Louis, a run capped off by a one-hit shutout of the Cubs in Wrigley. Eventually, the Devil Magic wore off and Montgomery returned to his solid, if flappable, ways. He worked from behind in 2021 in the sense that he threw his offspeed pitches (changeup, curveball) as his two primary pitches but changed his pitch mix this past season to feature his sinker, in particular after the move to St. Louis. It's not like he was bad during his time with New York -- the team felt it needed a good defensive outfielder -- and the Cardinals may be onto something with this new version of Montgomery. That being said, the modest swing-and-miss would seem to cap his fantasy upside. Read Past Outlooks

Serves up four runs in no-decision
Montgomery did not factor into the decision Monday, allowing four runs on seven hits and three walks over four frames during a 6-5 loss to Cincinnati in 10 innings. He struck out four.
ANALYSIS
Montgomery allowed two runs in the first on RBI knocks from Matt McLain and Tyler Stephenson, and after St. Louis took the lead on a three-run homer by Paul DeJong, the left-hander served up a go-ahead two-run homer to Spencer Steer in the third. After allowing just one run over his final two starts of April (12.2 innings), Montgomery has given up multiple runs in each of his first four May outings. During that stretch, he's posted a 6.64 ERA and a 1.77 WHIP with a 20:8 K:BB across 20.1 innings.

Montgomery enjoyed his first full season of work since the 2017 season, and arguably had his best professional season to date. He had Tommy John surgery in June of 2018 -- the success of 2020 coupled with his 2021 efforts show he is completely recovered from the surgery, but not without flaws. Montgomery has rather large splits to date with a 4.59 ERA and a .261/.316/.416 slash line allowed versus righties the past two seasons compared to a 2.53 ERA and a .228/.280/.322 versus lefties. He does pitch better at home (3.84 ERA) than away (4.36 ERA), which is not surprising given how spacious Yankee Stadium plays to the left-center-field gap. Monty works like a modern day Jimmy Key in that his changeup and breaking ball are his preferred pitches, and the league hit below .200 against both offerings while smashing his sinker to the tune of a .359 average. The flaws limit his ceiling, so this is not the guy to target if you're looking for another level.
