During the 2018 season, I made a trip up to Appleton, Wisconsin for a vacation. While I was there, it was only natural that I make it to a Timber Rattlers game, low and behold they were playing the Peoria Chiefs on that day. As the game goes on normal baseball things are happening, then there’s a crack of a bat that stands out. This was the first time I saw the 6’3” 200-plus pound presence of Elehuris Montero. This is the glimpse I had of the St. Louis Cardinals corner infield prospect.
