He hit .313/.429/.606 with six home runs over the first 27 games of 2026. His exit velocity data is impressive and even more so when you factor in his switch-hitting. Montgomery’s quality of contact is high from both sides of the plate, making power his carrying tool.Montgomery’s in-zone whiff rate is slightly higher than you’d like to see, though. For a power hitter with this level of quality of contact, you’re typically going to see some level of whiffs, but getting below 20% would likely unlock another gear for Montgomery. The whiff numbers are better against righthanded pitching, leading to fewer platoon concerns, as he’s better vs. the strong side.With continued performance, Montgomery could be up in Chicago within a few weeks hitting bombs alongside Munetaka Murakami and Colson Montgomery. https://www.baseballamerica.com/stories/12-mlb-prospects-posting-impressive-90th-percentile-exit-velocities-in-2026/
