Frankie Montas Breaks Out with Exceptional 2022 MLB Performance

Frankie Montas: The Rising Star of the Oakland Athletics? Maybe!

As the baseball season heats up, like, seriously heats up, fans are noticing a talented young pitcher, Frankie Montas. He’s 29, a righty, and he’s been, um, kinda making a name for himself. I mean, his stats are pretty good, right? This here article’s gonna take a look-see at his career, the latest news, and why everyone’s sayin’ he’s a big deal. Honestly, I’m still figuring it out myself.

A Breakout Season in 2022? Or was it?

Montas’ 2022 season? Man, it was something. 10-4 record, a 2.21 ERA – that’s pretty darn good, right? – and 148 strikeouts in, like, a gazillion innings. He was totally one of the top pitchers, I think. Made the All-Star team, which is, you know, a pretty big deal. I’m pretty sure.

Trade to the Athletics – What a Mess!

July 2022, Montas got traded from the Yankees to the A’s. Total surprise! Athletics fans were stoked, obviously. They got a good pitcher, right? But, man, that trade with Sean Murphy… still kinda confusing to me. Win-win? Maybe?

Injury Update: Ouch!

August 24th, 2022 – calf strain. Bummer. Kept him out for a while. But he came back on September 24th! Good for him! Showed some serious grit.

Career Statistics: Numbers, Numbers Everywhere!

Those numbers are pretty impressive, if I do say so myself. 2022 was killer. 2021 was good too, I guess.
