Julian Montoya  
Relief Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
Montoya has to keep the ball down, especially against lefties, or he gets hit hard and often. His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. He tends to work slowly when in a jam, which just makes his problems worse by lulling his fielders to sleep. He comes right after righthanded hitters, who are lucky even to reach base against him, but he works more carefully to lefties.

Defense & Hitting
Montoya's quickness helps him get off the mound and field as well as anyone in the league. He's average in terms of controlling the running game. Montoya is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Montoya has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Montoya as a pinch-runner on occasion.
