Montes made his MLB debut last season and had a .560 OPS in 41 plate appearances. He spent most of the campaign at Triple-A Albuquerque, where he posted a .317/.400/.550 slash line with 22 homers and 11 steals in 107 games. He also struck out at a 25.6 percent clip at Triple-A, which is a concern for his transition to the majors. The Rockies' infield is hardly full of sure things, and Montes should receive another opportunity in 2024. Whether or not he'll see more than occasional playing time remains to be seen.
