José Carlos Montoyo Díaz (born October 17, 1965 in Florida, Puerto Rico) is a Puerto Rican professional baseball coach and a former Major League player. After eight successful seasons as manager of the Durham Bulls, the Triple-A affiliate of the Tampa Bay Rays in the International League (2007–2014), Montoyo was a candidate for the Rays' 2015 managerial position and was ultimately brought on as the team's third base coach.
As an active player, Montoyo threw and batted right-handed; he stood 5 feet 10 inches (1.78 m) tall and weighed 170 pounds (77 kg). He appeared in four games for the Montreal Expos during the 1993 season as a second baseman and pinch hitter.
After playing college baseball at Louisiana Tech University, Montoyo was drafted by the Milwaukee Brewers in the sixth round of the 1987 amateur draft, and then traded to Montreal on January 20, 1993. During his brief Major League career in September of that year, he singled in his first big-league at bat off Gary Wayne of the Colorado Rockies. All told, he had two hits in five MLB at bats, with three runs batted in.
