"It's hard to imagine Colson Montgomery's rookie season going much better than it has since making his MLB debut. Across his first 212 plate appearances, the shortstop has 18 home runs and 46 RBIs while slashing .230/.299/.550/.848. Since his first game on July 4 in Colorado, Montgomery is tied for fifth in MLB in home runs and RBI. There's room for improvement for every player, such as Montgomery's batting average, walk rate and strikeout rate."
""You look at Colson, and [you see] those three values that we have: swing decisions, contact and damage," White Sox director of hitting Ryan Fuller said. "Throughout his minor league career, he was always walking at a really good clip, making good decisions, swinging when he should, taking when he should take. I see him being a guy where it's really good decisions, really big damage and contact when we needs it. We're looking at him to continue to make jumps, but we're seeing a really loud skill that is one of the most valuable at the big league level.""
