SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Waiting for the game to come to him and not forcing the action is one of shortstop Colson Montgomery’s strong suits. But it’s safe to say the White Sox’ top prospect can’t wait to play his first Cactus League game Wednesday.
The 22nd overall pick in the 2021 draft and the Sox’ top-ranked prospect (38th) per MLB Pipeline, Montgomery has impressed in the first two weeks of spring training. He made headlines in 2022 when he reached base in 50 consecutive games between Low-A Kannapolis and Advanced-A Winston-Salem, and manager Pedro Grifol is seeing why.
