The Chicago White Sox are addressing shortstop prospect Colson Montgomery's struggles at the plate by sending him to their Arizona complex for focused one-on-one hitting sessions. General manager Chris Getz expressed optimism about improving Montgomery's performance, noting the benefits of making player adjustments mid-season rather than waiting for the offseason. Montgomery, drafted 22nd overall in 2021, has underwhelming statistics in Triple-A Charlotte, prompting this proactive approach. He will work with hitting director Ryan Fuller, leveraging past experiences to enhance Montgomery's skills and overall development.
We are optimistic we are going to be able to make strides. Players oftentimes, they wait until the offseason to make some of these adjustments. We figured, why wait?
There have been plenty of examples in this game of guys that stepped out of their respective affiliates and go to work on something. We've done it in the past.
Ryan was on the road trip with our major-league club... it got me thinking about our experience at the alternate site.
We are going to do that with Colson and we'll kind of take it from there.
