DRAFT SPOTLIGHT INTERVIEW: Watch video
Braden Montgomery is an absolute tool-shed with physical abilities very few in the 2024 class can match. He's been a stud prospect since his high school days, but signing a player away from a Stanford commitment always proves difficult. He's now at Texas A&M. A two-way guy, Montgomery likely best projects as a prototype right fielder with easy plus power and above average athleticism both on the base paths and in the field. He's shown tremendous barrel control, as well as a refined eye at the plate. He's cut down his swing-and-miss every year since arriving to Palo Alto and A&M and that's important as scouts would like to see the hit tool take off in 2024. Montgomery might have the best outfield arm in the class, a truly elite cannon with pinpoint accuracy. On the mound, Montgomery has struggled to command the fastball, but he's been up to 97 with a formidable cutter and a swing-and-miss breaking ball when he's in the zone.
20. OF/RHP Carson Benge Oklahoma State
