Colson Montgomery has made a significant impact since his promotion to the major leagues in July. After struggling in Triple-A, he revamped his batting skills and recorded a .926 OPS over 32 games, leading to his promotion. Montgomery's recent performance includes a remarkable 452-foot home run, the longest of the season at Rate Field, which energized his teammates and showcased his offensive power and defensive skills. Manager Will Venable expressed confidence in Montgomery's talent, indicating he belongs in the major leagues and is a crucial part of the team's success.
"That was one of the farthest ones I've hit in my career, so I watched it a little bit. I just felt like it was a little motivation and momentum for the guys. I wanted to get the guys fired up."
"He looks like he belongs here. He thinks he belongs here."
Second baseman Lenyn Sosa described the blast as 'unthinkable.' Starting pitcher Davis Martin called it 'beautiful.'
