2026 Fantasy Outlook
Montgomery, the No. 12 overall pick in 2024 and a big part of Chicago's return from Boston in the Garrett Crochet trade, didn't make his pro debut until 2025 due to a broken ankle suffered in college. He slashed .270/.360/.444 with 12 home runs and 14 steals in 121 games across Single-A, High-A and Double-A before heading to the Arizona Fall League, where he logged a 1.161 OPS in 12 games. A patient hitter with a massive 6-foot-2, 220-pound frame, Montgomery's top long-term traits will be his OBP prowess and plus power. The talented switch hitter has a bit of a history with lower-body injuries -- he also missed over a month before reporting to the AFL due to a small fracture in his foot. It's not a big knock at this point, but it's worth tracking, given Montgomery's size. He's a natural right fielder with a cannon of an arm and could assume that spot on an everyday basis sometime this summer, assuming he handles Triple-A. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a one-year contract with the White Sox in June of 2026.
Records pair of doubles Wednesday
Montgomery went 2-for-4 with two doubles and a run scored in Wednesday's 2-1 win over Atlanta.
Analysis
After Montgomery delivered a walk-off homer in the 10th inning during his MLB debut Tuesday, the outfielder followed up that performance with two doubles Wednesday. The strong start shouldn't come as a complete surprise given his production in the minors, where he hit .306 with a .946 OPS across 55 games between Double-A and Triple-A prior to his promotion. Montgomery appears poised at the major-league level early in his tenure and should see consistent playing time in Chicago's outfield.

How does Braden Montgomery compare to other hitters?
This section compares his stats with all batting seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 400 plate appearances)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that stat and it would be considered average.
* Exit Velocity and Barrels/PA % are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 400 PA) and Hard Hit Rate is benchmarked against last season's data (min 400 PA). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

2025 Fantasy Outlook
The Red Sox snagged Montgomery with the 12th overall pick last year but he didn't debut due to a broken right ankle suffered on a play at the plate in June. He was dealt to Chicago this offseason as the second piece in a four-prospect package that sent Garrett Crochet to Boston. Montgomery was a two-way player in 2022 and 2023 with Stanford, but he largely scrapped pitching to focus on developing as a right fielder after transferring to Texas A&M for his junior season. The 6-foot-2 switch hitter has monster power to all fields and a double-plus arm in the field, so he possesses a classic right fielder profile. He slashed .322/.454/.733 with 27 home runs in his lone season in the SEC. His strikeout rates have been higher than those of most of the other top college bats in the class, but he turned in an OPS over .830 with a wood bat in the Cape Cod League in 2022 and 2023, so his track record of producing in two college conferences and the top summer circuit are big marks in his favor. Montgomery attempted only eight steals in 75 games across his junior season and final year on the Cape, and he grades as an average runner, so home runs, RBI, runs and on-base percentage are the top categories he could be a big positive in.
