Current Pro Baseball Players from Montana (MLB 2023)

Baseball Players, and athletes of all sports really, take pride in where they’re from. Whether it’s the state, city or area code – you always notice players wanting to rep their home area.

Fans tend to do the same thing. It’s always more fun to pull for a player when they’re from your home state (or even your hometown), especially when that player also happens to be playing on your favorite team.

With all that in mind, we went through MLB.com and pulled the home states (or countries) of every player on the 40-man rosters for each team.

We only found 1 player from the state of Montana on major league rosters. Montana is 1 of 6 states that currently have 1 player in the pros. It’s also one more than 4 states that don’t have any this season.

Codi Heuer

Hometown: Missoula, Montana

Codi Heuer, originating from Missoula, Montana, has established himself as a promising relief pitcher in Major League Baseball. Heuer’s journey in baseball began at Foothill High School in Palo Cedro, California, before attending Wichita State University, where he further developed his pitching skills.

Drafted in the 6th round of the 2018 MLB Draft by the Chicago White Sox, Heuer quickly made his way to the majors, debuting in 2020. Known for his high-velocity fastball and effective slider, Heuer has shown potential as a key bullpen arm.

His rookie season was particularly impressive, marked by a low ERA and high strikeout rate, demonstrating his ability to handle high-leverage situations and be a reliable asset in late-inning scenarios. Heuer’s transition from Montana to professional baseball showcases his determination and emerging talent on the mound.
