CINCINNATI -- The entire World Team dugout expected a triple-digit fastball on Sunday afternoon and Frankie Montas didn’t disappoint.
Though the World Team lost to the U.S. Team 10-1 in the Futures Game at Great American Ballpark, the White Sox Double-A pitcher created quite a stir among his teammates in the sixth inning when he threw consecutive 101-mph fastballs. As if that weren’t enough, Montas backed up those efforts with a 99-mph heater.
While Montas allowed three earned runs and four hits in two-thirds of an inning, he more than enjoyed himself a year after a knee injury forced him to miss the 2014 Futures Game.
