Montgomery is in his third big league camp, is ranked by MLB Pipeline as the No. 39 prospect in baseball and has a legitimate chance to break camp as Chicago's starting shortstop, while Venable works amid his first Spring Training as White Sox manager.

The power-hitting shortstop has come to Sox Camp in Glendale, Arizona confident that he can compete and earn his spot on the team in spring training.

White Sox prospect Colson Montgomery has been on the radar for a few years — and now, the 2021 first-round pick is poised to make the jump to the big leagues.

"There’s a lot of things for his development that he needs to focus on, and that’s what we’re here in spring training to do," manager Will Venable said.
