White Sox Send Colson Montgomery to Arizona for Swing Development

The Chicago White Sox are sending top shortstop prospect Colson Montgomery to their Arizona facility for one-on-one developmental work after a difficult start to the 2025 season at Triple-A Charlotte, where he has batted just .149 with a high strikeout rate. General manager Chris Getz emphasized the benefits of stepping away from regular game action to focus on swing mechanics and mental approach, noting successful past examples of players improving in similar settings. Montgomery will work closely with director of hitting Ryan Fuller for a week or two, aiming to reset his approach before returning to Charlotte. Both Getz and manager Will Venable highlighted that changing the work environment can help players progress without the pressure of immediate game results. The move demonstrates the team's proactive approach to player development, drawing on experiences from other organizations and alternate training sites.
