Braden Montgomery
-2nd Team - OF - D1Baseball
-1st Team Hitter - OF - Perfect Game
Outfield: Braden Montgomery, Texas A&M
If Chase Burns was the biggest name in the transfer portal then Braden Montgomery is probably on equal footing, as he shockingly departed Stanford and will be spending his draft year in College Station. Montgomery has a silky smooth swing from both sides of the plate and OPS’d over 1.000 with seventeen home runs for the Cardinal last year. He’s got an absolute cannon from the outfield and should pitch some too. Montgomery is another name on this list with top ten draft and Golden Spikes upside.

.336-17-61; coordinated w/ hit tool-pop combo; 80 arm who can pitch too

Jace LaViolette

Projected Lineups & Rotations

Per D1
C - Max Kauer
1B - Ted Burton
2B - Ryan Targac
3B - Gavin Grahovac
SS - Ali Camarillo
LF - Hayden Schott
CF - Jace LaViolette
RF - Braden Montgomery
DH - Jett Johnston

SP1 - Justin Lampkin
SP2 - Tanner Jones
SP3 - Chris Cortez
SP4 - Ryan Prager
Closer - Zane Badmaev

I am not exactly sure how I would change things, but I think Kent is going to crack the lineup somewhere. As good as Kauer was at a young age last season, we may be better with Appel. He's got the better bat. Sorrell is really highly thought of, but where does he go? This is a very good problem to have. Too many good players and not enough ABs to go around.
