However, one of their top six prospects is off to a very rough start.<\/p>\n<p>This player is Colson Montgomery, who has not had a great start to the season. Through his first 20 at-bats, Montgomery had just one hit, that being a homerun that came in his second at-bat. In those 20 at-bats, 15 ended in strikeouts. That is a staggering 75% strikeout rate. At that point, he hadn\u2019t taken a walk either.<\/p>\n<p>This, among other things, prompted a visit from White Sox hitting coordinator Ryan Fuller to visit with the Charlotte Knights. Immediately after meeting with the team and Montgomery, things looked like they took a turn for the better, as after working with Fuller, Montgomery went two for four with a homerun and looked much better the few games following that meeting.<\/p>\n<p>However, that success hasn\u2019t been sustained, as he is 1 for 21 over his last five games. This has prompted the White Sox to do something very unconventional, as Chris Getz discussed an interesting approach with Montgomery today.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Getz says #WhiteSox are sending Colson Montgomery to Arizona to get more one on one work to focus on his swing away from Charlotte. Says it won\u2019t be for a long stretch but there\u2019s been examples in past of doing this with players like Mackenzie Gore and Geraldo Perdomo. @WGNNews<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Josh Frydman (@Josh_Frydman) April 29, 2025<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>According to Josh Frydman of WGN, Chris Getz said the plan is to send Montgomery to the Arizona Complex to work one on one on his swing, away from the Charlotte Knights.<\/p>\n<p>This is a very interesting move, as Getz specifically mentioned that it has worked with other players in the major leagues, most notably Washington Nationals pitcher Mackenzie Gore.<\/p>\n<p>Hopefully this can work, as Montgomery may be losing his opportunity to play in Chicago, as the White Sox are obviously concerned with his performance. Let\u2019s hope the White Sox can help him work through things, as the White Sox could really use the flashes he showed in the past to help compete in the future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After a rough start to the season marked by an alarming strikeout rate, White Sox top prospect Colson Montgomery is being temporarily sent to Arizona for one-on-one swing work in hopes of getting back on track.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":52014,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-52013","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mlb"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.6 -
