Christian Montes De Oca (born August 30, 1999) is a Dominican professional baseball pitcher for the Arizona Diamondbacks of Major League Baseball (MLB). He made his MLB debut in 2025.

Career

[edit]

On December 14, 2021, Montes de Oca signed with the Arizona Diamondbacks as an international free agent.

Montes de Oca began the 2025 season with the Triple-A Reno Aces. On May 16, he was selected to the 40-man roster and promoted to the major leagues for the first time.[1] He was optioned back to Reno on May 22, without having made an appearance with Arizona.[2] On June 7, the Diamondbacks recalled Montes de Oca to serve as the 27th man for the team's doubleheader against the Cincinnati Reds.[3] He made his major league debut the same day, pitching 2+23 scoreless innings in relief.[4] Montes De Oca was placed on the injured list on June 10, due to right elbow inflammation.[5] On June 14, it was announced that Montes De Oca would require lower back surgery, a procedure that was likely to rule him out for the remainder of the season.[6]
