The only 2021 in attendance, as Cade has come on strong during the '21 now completed HS season, and has snuck under the radar! We had talks between the family and myself, in getting him to this event, to get this kid on the radar. With a strong season, featuring a 2.32 ERA in 48.1 IP's, Cade pitched to a perfect 5-0 record, while giving up only 29 hits, 32 BB and struck out 88 hitters, which was 16.38 K per 9 inns. Armed with a fast medium to short HTQ arm stroke, the ball jumps from the hand, with the FB 86-90 T91 and shows area control with spot command at times. The CB 69-72 has shape and biting depth, yet needs to throw it harder and with more conviction. Nothing that a good college pitching coach can't fix and harness. A 5'3" sophomore in 2019 wasn't looking to play college baseball, as he was not up to size, brought a whole new dimension during CoVid, as Montgomery shot up 8 inches to 5'11" and his FB jumped 10 MPH! Now armed with a body and arm to take him places, colleges are starting to call the young RH'er with available scholarship money. A great kid that is an unbelievable student, as he carried a 4.0 GPA with a 32 ACT, one that any school would want to get in their doors. Look for this name on the college scene in the future!
