2025 Fantasy Outlook
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.

Signed a one-year contract with the White Sox in March of 2025.
Stays hot with homer
Montgomery went 1-for-4 with a solo homer during Friday's 6-3 win over the Angels.
Analysis
Montgomery has discovered his power stroke lately and been one of Chicago's best run-producers. The 23-year-old hammered out his fourth home run in the last five games. In fact, all of his seven home runs this season have come within the young infielder's last 10 outings, a span of time in which he's 10-for-40 (.250 batting average) with a double, those seven homers and 14 RBI.

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
2024
2023
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.

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.
