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\u2011and\u2011miss tendencies remained the main critique of his game.

The early production\u2014and the confidence behind it\u2014earned him a start in Sunday\u2019s matchup against the Brewers.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s 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\u2011up when the regular season begins.<\/p>\n<p>Contact\/Follow us\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/aggieswire\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:@AggiesWire;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">@AggiesWire<\/a>\u00a0on X and like our page on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/AggiesWire\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Facebook;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Facebook<\/a>\u00a0to follow ongoing coverage of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usatoday.com\/sports\/college-sports\/sec\/texas-am\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Texas A&amp;M;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Texas A&amp;M<\/a> news, notes, and opinions.
