Montgomery Jeff

American relief pitcher in Major League Baseball (MLB) who played for the Cincinnati Reds (1987) and Kansas City Royals (1988–1999). Montgomery is one of the few elite closers in baseball history to have four types of baseball pitches. Most top relievers concentrate on two pitches. He was drafted by the Cincinnati team in 1983 and made his major league debut on 1 August 1987. A year later he transferred to the Kansas City Royals, retiring from the game in 1999, after 13 seasons. He was inducted into the Royals Hall of Fame in 2003, his first year of eligibility. Following his playing career, Montgomery appeared in an instructional video, The Fundamentals of Pitching with Jeff Montgomery. He is involved in many business interests, among them serving as a Vice-President of Union Broadcasting in Kansas City, Missouri. In 2010, Montgomery was hired by Fox Sports Kansas City, where he serves as an analyst on the Royals Live pregame show and in the broadcast booth on select game telecasts.
