18. Mason Montgomery, LHP

AAA | 6.26 ERA, 5.29 FIP, 87.2 IP (31 G, 14 GS) 26.1% K, 8.9% BB

Montgomery is all fastball, as evidenced by his horrid results in Durham as a starter. He transitioned to relief in August where he focused on just throwing his plus-plus fastball and hard breaking ball, and that earned him a promotion to the Rays shortly thereafter, where he was able to max-effort his way into being an effective bullpen piece, with 93rd percentile fastball velocity and really good extension.
