Braden Montgomery missed time after the 2024 MLB Draft due to a broken ankle but has excelled across minor league levels in 2025, beginning in Low-A Kannapolis and advancing to Double-A Birmingham. He is hitting .469 (15-for-32) with nine doubles over his last nine games and has a nine-game hitting streak. MLB.com ranks him the No. 33 prospect with a projected ETA of 2027. He is 22 years old with 393 professional at-bats, still refining his swing, and is expected to play in the Arizona Fall League rather than receive a September call-up.
In his first professional season, Chicago White Sox outfield prospect Braden Montgomery has performed everywhere he's been. After a broken ankle kept him from playing in the Red Sox organization following the 2024 MLB Draft, Montgomery has made the most of his opportunities in 2025. He started the season in Low-A Kannapolis, and has slowly worked his way up the minor league ladder.
MLB.com ranks Montgomery the No. 33 prospect in all of baseball with a projected ETA of 2027. It begs the question: How long will White Sox fans have to wait before Braden Montgomery makes his MLB debut and joins this young core? Contrary to what some people in the media might think, I don't expect the White Sox to bring Montgomery to the big leagues when rosters expand to 28 players on September 1.
