White Sox fans are holding onto hope as they look to the future, and one player is at the forefront of that optimism - shortstop Colson Montgomery. A pivotal offseason has set the stage for a season where Montgomery can take center field as the face of the franchise.
A remarkable turnaround story emerged last season, as Montgomery, fresh off being sent down to Triple-A Charlotte, began to rediscover his form. The organization's confidence in him proved invaluable, and it was clear that he had finally found his groove on the mound.
Montgomery attributes his resurgence to a renewed focus on building daily routines, allowing him to better prepare for opposing pitchers. This attention to detail has paid dividends, as Montgomery continues to show promise with his power at the plate, earning praise from Twins All-Star Byron Buxton and landing at No. 88 on MLB Network's Top 100 Players Right Now list.
As the Sox navigate a pivotal season without Luis Robert Jr., Montgomery is poised to be the driving force behind their next phase of growth. His calm demeanor and work ethic make him an ideal leader, according to teammate Kyle Teel, who notes that Colson does a great job of staying even-keeled.
With Robert traded to the Mets, the White Sox are counting on Montgomery to push them toward success. As fans eagerly await this season's outcome, they're holding onto hope and optimism - thanks in part to a player who embodies both qualities: Colson Montgomery is ready to take center stage as the future of the franchise.
