Ellis Montgomery is a battle-tested right-handed pitcher who refuses to fold when the pressure rises. She proved that on the regional stage by escaping a bases-loaded, no-out jam without allowing a run. Montgomery disrupts hitters with an effective rise ball and changeup, changing eye levels and keeping opponents from settling into the box. She also defends her position with quick reactions and isn’t limited to the circle. Her emerging power produced her first over-the-fence home run last fall. With big-game composure, two-way ability, and a competitive edge that shows up in crucial moments, Montgomery is built to take the ball when everything is on the line. She has the tools to become one of Vermont’s biggest risers in the 2030 class.
