Elehuris Montero is proving me wrong.
I was beginning to have doubts that the Rockies’ first baseman would ever make it in the big leagues. I was starting to believe he was a Quadruple-A player who would fade away and become a footnote in the trade that sent Nolan Arenado to the Cardinals.
Yes, Montero, at 6-foot-3, 235 pounds, is a powerhouse, but major league pitchers made him look helpless when they started feeding him a steady diet of down-and-away breaking balls. Montero hasn’t just been getting on base, he’s been ripping big-league pitching, slashing .375/.452/.611 with three homers, six doubles, one triple and 12 RBIs. His strikeout rate during the streak is a much-improved 25.8%.
Montero, quiet by nature, said he’s always believed in himself but was in need of some help. He found it from hitting coach Hensley “Bam Bam” Meulens.
