Braden Montgomery Breaks Out of Slump, Remains Firmly on Stash Radar
Chicago White Sox outfield prospect Braden Montgomery broke out of a recent slump with a strong four-game stretch at Triple-A Charlotte that saw him go 8-for-16 (.500) with two doubles, a home run, four RBI, seven runs scored, and a stolen base. Perhaps most impressive of all was that the switch-hitter did not strike out once in those four games, his longest stretch of the season without a strikeout, while also drawing three walks. Chicago's second-ranked prospect is performing admirably since earning a promotion to Triple-A, hitting .281 with seven doubles and three home runs in 23 games for the Knights, getting on base at a .366 clip thanks to a solid 10.9 walk rate, and he's also swiped two bags. At this rate, the former first-rounder looks poised for a midseason call-up to the majors, and with a blend of contact, power, and speed, the 23-year-old makes for a stashworthy fantasy asset in deeper leagues.
