IU signee Colson Montgomery drafted in 1st round by White Sox

If Colson Montgomery ever makes it to Bart Kaufman Field, the Hoosiers will have one heck of a prospect on their hands. Thing is, the likelihood of that arrival ever happening feels pretty low.

That’s because the Chicago White Sox selected the Southridge High School star shortstop with the No. 22 overall pick in Sunday’s first round of the Major League Baseball Draft. MLB.com ranked the 6-foot-4, 190-pound infielder as the No. 25 overall prospect in this year’s draft pool, while The Athletic’s Keith Law ranked him as the No. 56 overall talent.

Will he sign? Probably!
