Montes, an infielder with a proven track record of success, showcased his skills at the Empire Instructs program and earned his way to professional baseball in the Frontier League.

Montes, a pivotal player for the Puerto Rico National Team during the Premier 12 tournament, brings a wealth of experience and versatility to the Aigles. His clutch hitting and steady defense made him an invaluable asset during his international play, and he continued to impress scouts with his performance at Empire Instructs.

“John Montes is a player who knows how to win and elevate the game of those around him,” said the Aigles’ manager. “His experience at USF and with the Puerto Rico National Team has prepared him to excel at this level. We’re excited to have him join our organization.”

During his time at Empire Instructs, Montes displayed a combination of smooth defensive skills and a disciplined approach at the plate. Known for his ability to hit in key moments and his leadership on the field, he caught the attention of multiple scouts, ultimately leading to his signing with the Aigles.
