Braden Montgomery Fantasy Stats

Chicago White Sox outfield prospect Braden Montgomery debuted to plenty of fanfare last week, and he turned plenty of heads in his MLB debut against the Atlanta Braves, going 2-for-5 at the plate, including a walk-off home run. The White Sox's No. 2 prospect, per MLB Pipeline, followed up his noteworthy debut with a 2-for-4 performance last Wednesday with two doubles in a win over the Braves. The 23-year-old switch-hitter and former 12th overall pick by the Boston Red Sox in 2024 out of Texas A&M University has gone 5-for-19 with a homer, four RBI, and four runs scored in his first 20 plate appearances in the big leagues for a rising young White Sox club. Before getting the call to the South Side of Chicago, Montgomery hit an impressive .314/.422/.548 with a .970 OPS, 10 homers, 13 doubles, three triples, 41 RBI, 52 runs scored, and five steals in 56 games with Double-A Birmingham and Triple-A Charlotte. He should see regular playing time in his rookie campaign, and he can contribute for fantasy managers in multiple categories right away. There aren't many better young outfielders with this amount of upside than Montgomery, and he's available in more than 60% of Yahoo leagues.

Chicago White-Sox 2024 first-round pick, MLB's No. 23 prospect, and the organization's No. 2 prospect, Braden Montgomery, had an MLB debut to remember, as he went 2-for-5 with three RBI, two runs scored, and a walk-off home run to help the White Sox beat the Atlanta Braves on Tuesday by a score of 6-5. Since playing Single-A ball in 2025, Montgomery has had a very successful path through the Minors, hitting .260 or higher at every level. In Triple-A this season, he slashed .314/.422/.548 with 10 homeruns, 52 runs scored, 41 RBI, and five stolen bases with a 15.1 percent walk rate and 24.8 percent strikeout rate. Montgomery was a part of the blockbuster deal with the Red Sox for Garrett Crochet, and with his call-up to the Majors, he should see a lot of playing time in the outfield, and as for fantasy baseball, he has the power and speed combination tto provide a lot of upside, and for the most part, has held his walk to strikeout rate in the Minors in check, making him a solid waiver-wire pickup and a young star on the rise. Fantasy managers will want to find a way to add him to their rosters in most 12-plus team formats.

The Chicago White Sox are officially calling up their No. 2 prospect, outfielder Braden Montgomery, for his MLB debut on Tuesday, according to Scott Merkin of MLB.com. Montgomery is ranked as the No. 21 overall MLB prospect, per MLB Pipeline, and will get his first call to the big leagues after slashing an impressive .314/.422/.548 with a .970 OPS, 10 home runs, 13 doubles, three triples, 41 RBI, 52 runs scored, and five stolen bases in 56 games across 258 plate appearances with Double-A Birmingham and Triple-A Charlotte this year. The 23-year-old switch-hitter was the 12th overall pick in 2024 by the Boston Red Sox out of Texas A&M University. Montgomery has played both center and right field on the farm, and he should play regularly in Chicago, making him waiver-wire worthy in most fantasy formats for his plus-plus power upside. The 6-foot-2, 220-pounder could become a superstar if he tightens up his plate discipline and makes more contact.

Matt Snyder of CBS Sports reports that he is "hearing whispers" that Chicago White Sox outfield prospect Braden Montgomery is on the verge of being called up for his MLB debut. The 23-year-old has dominated Triple-A pitching so far in 2026, hitting .314/.422/.548 with 10 home runs, 41 RBI, 52 runs scored, and five stolen bases across 258 plate appearances. He also owns an elite 15.1% walk rate and has posted a 53.8% hard-hit rate this season. Montgomery is considered to be one of the elite prospects in the White Sox system, so it seems unlikely that the team would promote him to the big leagues without a plan to play him every day. Chicago has gotten middling production from the right field combination of Rikuu Nishida, Randal Grichuk, and Derek Hill, which could be where Montgomery slots in at the big-league level. If Montgomery is indeed on his way up to the Majors, he profiles as a high-upside waiver wire target for fantasy managers.

Chicago White Sox top hitting prospect Braden Montgomery has enjoyed an impressive campaign with Triple-A Charlotte and is knocking on the MLB door. Given the team's lack of depth in the outfield, Montgomery may not need to wait much longer before making his MLB debut. This season, during his first 26 games at the Triple-A level, the outfielder has held his own, posting a .298/.373/.462 line with a .835 OPS. The former first-round pick began the season in Double-A but needed only another 27 games at that level before earning the call to the top club in the minor leagues. With Chicago already turning to several of their top prospects at Triple-A, such as Jacob Gonzalez and Sam Antonacci, Montgomery's promotion may be in the near future, and his current play at Triple-A suggests he may not endure many growing pains on the South Side.

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.

Chicago White Sox top hitting prospect Braden Montgomery has hit a bit of a skid at the top club in the minor leagues over the past week. After putting together a dominant start to his time at Triple-A, the former first-round pick has gone 0-for-13 over his last five games while holding a 7:3 K:BB. However, prior to this, Montgomery carried a much higher .283/.348/.467 slash line with five doubles, two home runs, and one stolen base over his first taste of Triple-A earlier in May. Montgomery began the regular season with Double-A, but needed only another 27 gams at that level to prove he was ready to join the top ranks. If Montgomery can snap out of this skid in the immediate future, the young slugger should firmly be back on the stash radar, given Chicago's lack of depth in the outfield.

Chicago White Sox outfield prospect Braden Montgomery recently moved up to Triple-A and enters Week 9 as an elite stash option among hitting prospects. Even though Montgomery has endured a brief three-game hitless skid, the team's top hitting prospects remain on the verge of an MLB debut. Prior to this short slump, Montgomery enjoyed a dominant start to his Triple-A campaign, posting a .283/.348/.467 line with five doubles, two home runs, and a stolen base over his first 14 games. He opened the season at Double-A Birmingham but needed only 27 games to prove he was ready to face the top pitching in the minor leagues. With Double-A, Montgomery posted a 1.035 OPS with six long balls and two stolen bases. Given that Chicago lacks much depth in their outfield, Montgomery could debut before the end of June, making him a top stash option in all formats.

Chicago White Sox outfield prospect Braden Montgomery continues to produce impressive results at the plate following his promotion to Triple-A earlier this month. Across 15 games with the Charlotte affiliate, he's slashing .274/.338/.452 with two homers, five walks, 18 strikeouts, and 96 wRC+. Although it's a bit too soon for the White Sox to call Montgomery up to the majors, we wouldn't be surprised if he makes his MLB debut at some point this summer. The 23-year-old has produced at every level, offering plus power and defense, as well as average speed and a solid hit tool. Montgomery's average exit velocity of 93.3 mph (94th percentile) should play at the next level, resulting in plenty of power. Therefore, he's a top prospect to stash in fantasy baseball leagues. He ranks #19 among outfield prospects in RotoBaller's latest dynasty rankings.

Chicago White Sox outfield prospect Braden Montgomery has appeared unfazed by his transition to Triple-A pitching, going 15-for-50 (.300) over his first 12 games, with three doubles, two home runs, and a stolen base thus far. A 26.8 percent strikeout rate is on the high side, but mostly unchanged from the 25.4 percent rate he recorded in 27 games at Double-A, while the Texas A&M product is drawing walks at an average rate of 8.9 percent. The switch-hitter showed some power (12 home runs) and some speed (14 steals) in 2025, and if he can continue to produce at Triple-A, a promotion to the big league club looks likely by midseason. With his all-around skillset, Chicago's second-ranked prospect is a worthwhile stash option in deeper leagues for his potential to contribute across multiple categories.
