Montgomery is a hold — average skill, capped by strikeouts.

His expected wOBA is .305, .010 below the league average of .315, and he has enough plate appearances for that number to be reliable. His actual wOBA is .314, essentially league average, so nothing lucky or unlucky is distorting the line. The contact quality is respectable — a 42.0% hard-hit rate and 12.6% barrels, both above league — but it is not enough to push him past average. The real problem is the strikeout rate: 34.4% against a league average of 22.0%, and it has been stepping up across the sample. That many strikeouts puts a hard ceiling on his batting average, no matter how well he hits the ball when he connects. The skill has also been trending down, not up. There is no buy signal and no sell signal. Hold.
