Another day, another former Texas A&M baseball standout making noise in the MLB.
In late January, the Chicago White Sox announced that Braden Montgomery was one of 22 players invited to their spring training camp—an early chance for the former Aggie to showcase his talent on a big‑league stage.

Montgomery’s path hasn’t been easy. After an injury sidelined him during the College World Series and delayed the start of his college career, he steadily climbed through the minor leagues. At every stop, he flashed the same elite tools that made him a top prospect, though swing‑and‑miss tendencies remained the main critique of his game. Over the past year, he’s tightened up that approach, earning recognition as one of MLB Pipeline’s Top 10 outfielders.
On Friday, in his first spring training at‑bat, Montgomery ripped a triple over the center fielder’s head, driving in a run and extending the White Sox’s lead. The early production—and the confidence behind it—earned him a start in Sunday’s matchup against the Brewers.
It’s been a challenging journey for Montgomery to reach this point, but he now has a real opportunity to show the White Sox why he deserves to be in the conversation for a call‑up when the regular season begins.
