South Side Sox Top Prospect No. 1: Colson Montgomery

Colson Montgomery
Shortstop
6´4´´
205 pounds
Age: 20
SSS rank among all shortstops in the system: 1

As a three-sport standout from Huntington, Ind. (a community of 18,000 a bit southwest of Fort Wayne), Colson Montgomery was the star quarterback who drew attention from Indiana University, and also was established as a hoops star as well.

However, as good as he was in those other sports, his better long-term prospects lay on the diamond. Easily a first-round talent, he fell to the 23rd pick due to concerns about his being a bit old for a prep player.
