Bryce Montes De Oca's FANGRAPHS page:
| Fastball | Curveball | Changeup | Command | FV |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 70 / 70 | 60 / 60 | 45 / 45 | 30 / 30 | 35+ |
Maybe all the surgeries and missed time have made Bryce an under the radar prospect. But when you throw as high as 102MPH with a biting slider, you are gonna get noticed. After K-ing 24 in 17 innings in Binghamton, Bryce K'd 48 in 30 innings at Syracuse.

After topping out at 102 MPH on the radar gun this week, seems like he's making up for lost time. #Amazinstartshere pic.twitter.com/l90DphPm0j Got the opportunity to interview @BKCyclones flame thrower Bryce Montes de Oca. He has an incredible comeback story to tell as he’s pitching professional for the first time since being drafted in 2018. He’s reached speeds of 101 with his fastball and has a 2.86 ERA. @Mets_Minors pic.twitter.com/WPbaDlPzqA
