40 RHP Carson Montgomery Florida State 

Montgomery has been a first round talent since the 2020 draft and some scouts have gone on record regretting not pushing harder for their team to dole out the cash necessary to land the talented righty. It might be the best breaking ball in the class right now, a slider into the mid-80s with strong spin rates, and serious feel for two-plane break. The result is opposing hitters swinging through air nearly two-thirds of their hacks. Montgomery can get into the upper-90s with the fastball, though he's generally a few ticks lower than that. It's not a bat-missing fastball and he'll need to continue working on developing consistent shape with the heater. Still, given the velocity, the floor of the pitch, especially at the college level, it's reasonably high. There's some feel for a pretty darn good changeup in there too. Montgomery could be the complete package and projects to fit comfortably inside the first round.
