White socks will promote Colson Montgomery According to Chris Norton of Indiana’s Witz Radio, the series against the Rockies this weekend. Montgomery is already in the 40-man roster, so Sox only needs to do an active roster.
This is the first call for the 23-year-old Major League Baseball, who may make his debut tomorrow on MLB Antonio Senzatela. Chicago’s first-round draft pick in 2021, left-handed shortstop was one of the sport’s highest prospects not long ago. Montgomery will be in the top 50 minor league talent in the U.S. baseball in each of the last three seasons. BA rated him as the best prospect in the Sox system every year from 2022-24.
Montgomery lists at 6’3 inches and 230 pounds, bringing great potential for original strength to the midfielder. A very patient plate approach leads to a strong mark on pitching low minors, but he has had a tough time on his more polished arms. Montgomery spent the whole day in Triple-A Charlotte last year, reaching .214/.329/.381 in 130 games. He made 18 home runs with 18% walking rates, but nearly 29% of his travels beat the plate.
Chicago needs to add Montgomery to the 40-man squad last offseason to get him out of the Rule 5 draft. Despite the medium triple number, he will definitely be selected, so it’s easy for the front desk. They chose him to return to Charlotte to start the season, and he had similar concerns on the second crack. In 55 games, he hit .218/.298/.435 and he beat one-third.
While the numbers of seasons are not entirely required for promotion, they are suppressed by a cruel April. Montgomery’s May was effective, and was very productive in June, hitting .281 with 6 home runs and 11 extra knocks in 16 games. Plate discipline has been ongoing – he only shot 22 on foot in 71 games last month, but from a strength standpoint, he performed enough to let the team give him a look.
The Indiana native played four games at third base this year, but otherwise was a full-time shortstop in his minor league career. If they aren’t ready to play time every day in his natural position, it’s unlikely that Sox will call him. Rookie Chase Meidroth Playing time there. Meidroth, obtained from the Red Sox Garrett Crochet Trade reached .260 with a benchmark percentage of 0.347. He showed no strength, but a disciplined approach might be enough to stay in the roster.
Meidroth’s defensive score is available, but most reconnaissance reports feature him as a second baseman. Sox can slide to Keystone and move Lenyn Sosa Go to third base Josh Rojas Exit the mix. SOSA is also a well-known commodity and a utility type, so the focus should be on bringing Montgomery and Medros to the lineup every day.
