Rest-of-Season Projections
2024 Fantasy Outlook
Montgomery missed the first three months of the season with oblique and back injuries. The 21-year-old shortstop finished the 2022 season at Double-A, but he played 17 games at High-A last season after rehabbing in rookie ball before returning to Double-A. It was unfair for the Sally League pitchers, as the lefty hitter slashed .345/.537/.552 with three home runs and more walks (20) than strikeouts (15) in 17 games. He was more in line with expectations at Double-A, slashing .244/.400/.427 with four home runs in 37 games - he has a career .218/.350/.391 line in 51 games at that level. He made up for lost time in the Arizona Fall League but hit just three home runs with a .300 OBP in 20 games on the hitter-friendly circuit. Right or wrong, Montgomery is being billed as the shortstop of the future and a potential savior on the South Side. He's not quite that caliber of prospect, but he could log strong OBPs with 20-plus home runs while playing a serviceable shortstop and hitting near the top of the lineup. As a middle infielder with no speed, Montgomery needs to fill up the other four categories to be coveted in fantasy. He could probably use a couple more months in the upper levels before making his big-league debut. Read Past Outlooks
Struggling to make contact
Montgomery is slashing .222/.335/.370 with seven home runs, four steals and a 28.2 percent strikeout rate in 57 games for Triple-A Charlotte.
ANALYSIS
At 22 years old, Montgomery is at an appropriate level of the minors, and his performance thus far is backed up by a mediocre 23.2 percent hard-hit rate and a poor 66.7 percent contact rate. The White Sox probably would have promoted Montgomery to the majors earlier this season if he looked ready, but at this point there's little incentive for them to bring him up until late August so that he can preserve his rookie eligibility heading into 2025.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
Montgomery has plus raw power and a very mature approach for a 20-year-old shortstop. The 22nd overall pick in 2021, Montgomery made his full-season debut last season and climbed from Single-A to Double-A. Over-the-fence power hasn't been a major weapon yet in games, as he hit 11 home runs in 96 games, but his .274/.381/.429 slash line, 19.8 K%, 12.9 BB% and 30.7 Hard% are all very promising marks given how aggressively he was pushed. Montgomery's command of the strike zone, hard-hit rate and 112 mph max exit velocity portend significant growth in game power over the coming seasons. Montgomery isn't a threat on the bases, and as a left-hitting, high-OBP shortstop, he profiles as a discount version of Marcelo Mayer, who was selected 18 picks earlier in the same class. Look for Montgomery to split time between Double-A and Triple-A this season.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Intent on playing shortstop
White Sox direct of player development Paul Janish said April 30 that Montgomery plans to play shortstop at the big-league level and will "get every opportunity to do that," according to Vinnie Duber of AllCHGO.com.
ANALYSIS
The 22-year-old was drafted 22nd overall as a prep shortstop in 2021, but there was some speculation he may be better suited for the hot corner. Montgomery has exclusively played shortstop in the minors, and it doesn't appear he'll be shifting positions anytime soon. He's receiving his first taste of the Triple-A level in 2024 and has five homers, a .225/.348/.405 slash line and 31.1 percent strikeout rate through 29 games.
