Colson Montgomery’s Slump Forces Bold White Sox Move

-

The White Sox are one of a few teams that have six or more top 100 prospects on the MLB Pipeline list, which can give fans hope for the future, as the current product on the field is uninspiring. However, one of their top six prospects is off to a very rough start.

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’t taken a walk either.

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.

However, that success hasn’t 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.

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.

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.

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’s 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.

Unfortunately this won’t help one lick…. C Montgomery is just another failed top draft pick in a long line from this inept clown show. This farcical cabal of rejects, continues to show, no one has any clue on player evaluation or development. Even with microscopic changes they claimed to have implemented… we continue see epic failure. Inept Getz and clown cabal are also circling the wagons for Vaughn.. yet another example of a top draft pic failure… because they believe they can build his trade value. All the while, you have Elko destroying AAA pitching. Elko does have his detractors… Read more »
