White Sox Rookie Colson Montgomery Hits Five Homers Last Eight Games

Christian Walker of the Houston Astros has been performing well since the All-Star break, highlighted by a two-run home run and multiple walks in a recent game, raising his batting average to .309 with notable RBI and runs scored. Meanwhile, Chicago White Sox rookie shortstop Colson Montgomery has emerged as a powerful force, hitting seven home runs in his last ten games after debuting on July 4. Montgomery's surge in power has been partly attributed to his use of a 'torpedo bat' and swing adjustments made with the White Sox hitting coach, which have led to an impressive slugging percentage of .750 over his recent games. His performance turnaround is significant, considering his struggles in Triple-A earlier in the season, where he batted just .149 and was dropped from the Top 100 prospects list. Montgomery's improvement has also positively impacted his collectible card market, with values rising in response to his on-field success. Overall, both Walker and Montgomery are key players to watch as the MLB season heads into its critical final stretch.
