I'm not taking away any titles or putting an asterisk on anything but the results were tainted by the pandemic and the various unequal ways teams and individuals approached it and were affected by it. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind of makes up for Vaughn turning into Joe Dimaggio but I don't begrudge anyone. It was time to move on. I begrudge somebody. Just not sure who it is or who it should be.

He's not a fast runner and will eventually grade out around average to slightly below at SS and likely a lower batting average due to selling out for power...but sure why not? It's going to be a period of adjustments for both pitchers and Colson. Nice to see a Sox hitter as a rookie getting some intentional bb's.

Have to think he'll start walking more and lowering the K's as teams adjust. I don't think he's had a real opportunity to show off his 'eye'. He's been better than I thought he would be so far, at the plate and defensively, but the 'plate discipline' is I think what set him apart in the minor leagues.

caulfield12 Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 https://www.statmuse.com/mlb/ask/mlb-home-runs-leaders-2025-rookies Colson moving quickly up the leaderboard. Kurtz or Wilson will win in the AL, Baldwin or Ramirez in the NL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigHurt3515 Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 Little worried it is home run or nothing right now for him and he is going to be home run happy. I feel like every swing he is trying to hit a home rum, it is fun to watch when he connects but I hope he doesn't get into his own head when he goes in a home run slump 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our man has doubled his HR rate compared to the bandbox in Charlotte. His batting average is about 30 points higher. Worried about nothing. Glass half full is the objectively correct perspective. He's killing it and people are still freaking out lol. My favorite post of all time on this board is that guy who was mad he only hit a triple instead of an inside the park home run.

Like I said before he is gonna take Chicago by storm. He's the Sox version of Pete Crow-Armstrong, Bobby Witt Jr., Connor Bedard. Ten home runs at this stage is remarkable. His last two homers have been rockets. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The younger Montgomery has a lot more charisma, I hope he's good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hogan873 Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 I've seen others note it, and I agree, that his swing reminds me of Corey Seager. It's amazing how much power he has. I imagine he'll have his ups and downs and suffer some slumps, but as someone else mentioned, he could be the new superstar for the Sox. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colson swings the bat so violently...obviously playing with all the confidence in the world now, but are their metrics on his swing speed and EV's comparing 2023/24/25??? Was he swinging the same way in the AFL? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as he stays healthy, and his back makes me very nervous, he's got the talent and the mindset. He may turn into what we thought TA would as long as he stays healthy.

Tim Anderson averaged 4.01 WAR per/162 in his first 6 years with the White Sox. If Colson has that pace, it would be a huge win. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
