Jordan “Gumby” Montgomery can be the savior in multiple roles as the Yankees enter their postseason stretch.

Montgomery quietly put together a stellar rookie campaign, going 9-7 with a 3.88 ERA during the 2017 season. The lefty ended up finishing sixth in the Rookie of the Year race, a contest which no one ever imagined he would be a part of early on.
