2026 Fantasy Outlook
There was plenty of skepticism surrounding Montgomery when he got the call in July due to his high strikeout rates in the minors. He did not look out of place, however, smacking 21 homers in just 71 games, including 10 long balls in August alone, tying the White Sox rookie record for a single calendar month. After hitting just .215 at the Triple-A level, Montgomery managed a .239 batting average against big-league competition despite a 29.2 K%. Over a larger sample, Montgomery should be expected to fall back in that particular category, which takes away from the appeal of his considerable power. A first-round pick in 2021, the shortstop will be afforded the chance to continue playing every day on the South Side, and presumably with the leash to work through any slumps -- within reason -- as the organization evaluates for the future.

Knocks in three
Montgomery went 1-for-5 with a double and three RBI on Friday against the Mariners.
Analysis
Montgomery recorded a bases-clearing double in the third inning to account for all of his RBI. He extended his hitting streak to four games and also has at least one hit in eight of his last 10 starts. In those 10 contests, Montgomery has hit .231, but he has also chipped in two homers, seven RBI and four runs scored.

Stat Review
How does Colson 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.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2025
2024
2023
A prospect who is more highly thought of by some real-life prospect rankers than those who focus on fantasy value, Montgomery has yet to hit above .250 at Double-A or Triple-A, and he has less foot speed/stolen base upside than the typical acclaimed shortstop prospect. The biggest selling points are opportunity - the White Sox seem set on shoehorning him in as their shortstop of the future - power and on-base percentage. His poor showing as an age-appropriate player at Triple-A (.214/.329/.381 triple-slash, 88 wRC+, 28.6 K%) should be weighed more heavily than his 1.167 OPS, three home runs and 6:10 K:BB in 11 Arizona Fall League games, although the AFL showing does at least give those rostering him in dynasty leagues and 2025 draft-and-hold leagues some hope. In a healthy organization, Montgomery would probably debut as a third baseman, but he's ticketed for shortstop work on the South Side. In OBP leagues, he should have a solid run as a power-hitting middle-infield option, but in batting average leagues, there's no guarantee he produces enough to be someone you want in your starting lineup.
