Heath Montsinger  
Starting Pitcher | Free Agents

Pitching
He walks too many hitters and throws too many pitches. His composure needs work. When Montsinger starts getting hit, he gets mad and loses concentration. His stuff becomes less sharp as he gets into the late innings. Sometimes I wish he'd just give up on throwing the changeup, it's like a BP ball! You know, some times I think I can throw harder than Montsinger, and that's saying a lot. He's almost as effective against righthanders as he is versus lefthanders.

Defense & Hitting
Montsinger's follow-through leaves him in a vulnerable position, so he has trouble with comebackers. He has a poor pickoff move and a slow delivery, so basestealers can run at will. Montsinger is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Montsinger has some pop in his swing.

2025 Outlook
What The Free Agents was thinking when they signed Montsinger to a long contract, is beyond me: this guy flat-out sucks. But if you ask me, I'll pass on Montsinger.
