Pirates’ Hidden Gem: Montgomery’s Rise | Pittsburgh Pirates News
Description
The Pirates pulled off a savvy trade with Tampa Bay, landing Mason Montgomery — a raw but electric righty who’s turned into a shutdown closer since July. With a .86 ERA and .62 WHIP, he’s striking out over half batters while barely letting anyone on base. Manager Don Kelly has already handed him six saves, and despite being a former starter, Montgomery is thriving in his new role. The Pirates saw his potential early and are now reaping the rewards — especially with Luke Weaver’s contract expiring soon. This move might be their best bullpen gamble yet.
