Mike Montgomery vs. CC Sabathia, 7:10pm
Welcome to the big leagues, Mike Montgomery. It’s been a long, long road for the lefty. He was drafted with the 36th overall pick in 2008, and cracked the Royals top 10 prospect list back in 2009, placing him around guys like Dan Cortes, Kila Ka’aihue and Danny Duffy. The following year, Montgomery topped pretty much everyone’s KC list, and was in the top 5 for 2011, the famously hyped best system in the history of systems. He had good size, above average velocity, a solid change, and the makings of a solid curve.
