The Sox' prized shortstop prospect also had a quirky first plate appearance, being granted first base on a catcher's interference call.

Chicago White Sox shortstop Colson Montgomery made a spectacular over-the-shoulder catch in the second inning of his major league debut Friday night against Colorado, sprinting back and diving to grab Ryan Ritter’s broken-bat looper.

The Sox selected Montgomery with the No. 22 pick in the 2021 draft out of Southridge High School in southern Indiana. He has a .246/.364/.414 career slash line with 69 doubles, 48 home runs and 186 RBIs in 376 games during portions of five seasons in the Sox system.
