Keider Montero went somewhat overlooked for years, but the rookie’s recent success with Tigers has finally put him on the map. There is still work ahead to establish himself as a full-time rotation member. There is also some possibility that his best future path to major league success lies through the bullpen. However, the recently turned 24-year-old right-hander very much resembles the case of Reese Olson at this time last season, and those similarities offer hope that Montero can follow suit and develop into a fine major league starting pitcher.
The Venezuelan born Montero was signed by the Tigers as a 16-year-old way back in 2016.
