WTM’s PLAYER PROFILE

The Pirates had to wait two years for Montout, as his original contract was voided because he couldn’t verify his age.  They signed him a second time at the beginning of the 2019-20 signing period.  He has very good height and throws hard, and he still has room to fill out.

2019
DSL:  2-1-3, 3.03 ERA, 1.21 WHIP, 29.2 IP, 3.3 BB/9, 8.8 K/9

Usually, July 2 signees don’t play until the following year, but the Pirates got Montout into action immediately.  He pitched as a starter and reliever, doing a bit better in shorter outings.  Over all he pitched well, although at 22 he was old for the level.

Montout came to fall instructionals in 2019, so he should be in the US in 2020.  Given his age, it’s likely the Pirates will start him off higher than the GCL.
