Colson Montgomery sets MLB record as White Sox lead AL Central

Colson Montgomery, 24, has made MLB history as the first player to hit 20 home runs within his first 275 at-bats in each of his first two seasons. Montgomery achieved this feat during the White Sox's series against the Yankees, having hit 20 homers in just 256 at-bats in 2026. His performance has been crucial in helping the White Sox, who have a 39-34 record, sit atop the AL Central despite pre-season doubts. Montgomery's recent success includes a.304 batting average and four home runs over his last seven games. The team is encouraging fans to vote for him in the upcoming All-Star Game, a candidacy bolstered by his consistent power display.
