Chuck Garfien’s Spring Training Podcast-pa-looza continues with White Sox prospect Braden Montgomery, who dives into the mindset that fuels his game and his passion for hitting. Montgomery discusses the challenge of developing as a switch-hitter, how he processes failure and uses it as motivation, the hype surrounding his rise, and the improvements he’s made as he pushes toward the majors. He also shares his reaction to taking Shota Imanaga deep, if he's picked any teammates' brains, and the work he’s put in this offseason to get stronger. Plus, Montgomery talks about his big-picture goals, including Hall of Fame aspirations, the type of player he hopes to become, and why he’s excited about the future of the White Sox.
