This Chicago White Sox player set a franchise record on Saturday

The White Sox have had a lot of young stars get called up over the years, but a franchise record was set. Shortstop Colson Montgomery hit a home run on Saturday against the Detroit Tigers, and that set a franchise record. That was his 35th career homer in 128 games, which breaks Jose Abreu’s 133 games it took to get to that total. Montgomery has been an incredible hitter in his young career. He has an .829 OPS with 35 homers, 90 RBI, and 70 runs scored while being one of the likely American League All-Stars on the White Sox right now. He is now tied with the following players for 88th in White Sox franchise history with 35 home runs:

• Alejandro De Aza
• Chris Singleton
• Nellie Fox
• Oscar Gamble
• Ken Henderson

The lineup as a whole has been producing a lot of power this season. They have hit at least three home runs in 11 games this year, the second-most in MLB behind the New York Yankees. With Munetaka Murakami on the injured list, this is a chance for players like Montgomery to get more attention. He has been one of the best hitters in baseball, but has not been getting as much national attention. With the number of talented shortstops in baseball, the White Sox have one they can pencil into their lineup every day.
