2024 Fantasy Outlook
Montgomery missed the first three months of the season with oblique and back injuries. The 21-year-old shortstop finished the 2022 season at Double-A, but he played 17 games at High-A last season after rehabbing in rookie ball before returning to Double-A. It was unfair for the Sally League pitchers, as the lefty hitter slashed .345/.537/.552 with three home runs and more walks (20) than strikeouts (15) in 17 games. He was more in line with expectations at Double-A, slashing .244/.400/.427 with four home runs in 37 games - he has a career .218/.350/.391 line in 51 games at that level. He made up for lost time in the Arizona Fall League but hit just three home runs with a .300 OBP in 20 games on the hitter-friendly circuit. Right or wrong, Montgomery is being billed as the shortstop of the future and a potential savior on the South Side. He's not quite that caliber of prospect, but he could log strong OBPs with 20-plus home runs while playing a serviceable shortstop and hitting near the top of the lineup. As a middle infielder with no speed, Montgomery needs to fill up the other four categories to be coveted in fantasy. He could probably use a couple more months in the upper levels before making his big-league debut. Read Past Outlooks
Joins 40-man roster
The White Sox selected Montgomery's contract from Triple-A Charlotte on Tuesday, James Fegan of SoxMachine.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Montgomery slashed only .214/.329/.381 with 18 home runs and a 28.6 percent strikeout rate this season at Charlotte, although at 22 (he'll turn 23 in February), he was quite young for that level. He could use some more seasoning, but with a fast start next season, Montgomery could push to see time at shortstop with the big club.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
Montgomery has plus raw power and a very mature approach for a 20-year-old shortstop. The 22nd overall pick in 2021, Montgomery made his full-season debut last season and climbed from Single-A to Double-A. Over-the-fence power hasn't been a major weapon yet in games, as he hit 11 home runs in 96 games, but his .274/.381/.429 slash line, 19.8 K%, 12.9 BB% and 30.7 Hard% are all very promising marks given how aggressively he was pushed. Montgomery's command of the strike zone, hard-hit rate and 112 mph max exit velocity portend significant growth in game power over the coming seasons. Montgomery isn't a threat on the bases, and as a left-hitting, high-OBP shortstop, he profiles as a discount version of Marcelo Mayer, who was selected 18 picks earlier in the same class. Look for Montgomery to split time between Double-A and Triple-A this season.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Sticking at shortstop
Montgomery played third base in the Arizona Fall League this year but confirmed Wednesday that he won't be moving off shortstop, reports Vinnie Duber of AllCHGO.com.
ANALYSIS
The White Sox's front office made a similar declaration in May, and there's a clear path to playing time at shortstop in the big leagues. Montgomery was added to Chicago's 40-man roster Tuesday but isn't guaranteed to begin 2025 in the majors given he had a .214/.332/.380 slash line and 28.6 percent strikeout rate in his first taste of the Triple-A level this year.
