MLB Stars at a Crucial Juncture: Who Will Rise from the Ashes and Who Will Fade Away?
Of the 131 pitchers who worked at least 100 innings in 2024, Montgomery’s raw value- (RV-) of 130 was the fifth worst ahead of only Cole Irvin of the Minnesota Twins (143), Martin Perez of the San Diego Padres (135), Cal Quantrill of the Colorado Rockies (132) and Jordan Hicks of the San Francisco Giants (131).
Yikes. You’ll remember, league average for RV- is 100, with the lower, the better. So to be that far the other way? Yep, just ugly.
Bottoming out or bouncing back? He has to bounce back, right? This is a guy who owned a 3.67 ERA through his first seven seasons in the majors and just turned 32 in December. A guy who was traded to St. Louis in 2022 and helped the Cardinals make the postseason, then was traded to Texas in 2023 and helped the Rangers do the same. And it’s worth noting that his underlying data was relatively stable last year: command+ (107 in 2023, 103 in 2024), whiff+ (100, 108) and strike+ (101, 95).
