2024 Fantasy Outlook

A year after signing a big, 3-year contract to return Houston, Montero regressed back to the inconsistent pitcher we knew from years past. The 33-year-old posted a horrific 5.08 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and 1.5 HR/9 while recording a mere 11 saves-plus-holds after racking up 37 the year prior. Montero's hard-hit metrics also took a huge step backward last season. His 29th percentile barrel percentage (9.1 percent) plummeted from the 99th percentile mark (2.9 percent) he posted the season prior. The strikeouts, whiffs, and fastball velocity remained, but the veteran right-hander appears destined for middle relief in 2024 thanks to Houston's electric late-inning triumvirate of Josh Hader, Ryan Pressly and Bryan Abreu.
