Follow Cameron on X: @CameronOhnysty.After weeks of speculation, Texas A&M superstar outfielder Braden Montgomery has signed his deal with the Boston Red Sox. The franchise drafted him 12th overall during the 2024 MLB Draft.
After one year with the Aggies, Montgomery only needed one season to endear himself to the fan base, as his stellar play on the field during the 2023-2024 regular season was a huge reason for A&M’s run to the College World Series finals for the first time in program history.
Poised to steadily rise through the minor league system, Montgomery’s season-ending knee injury is not expected to hamper his readiness for next season but was one of the main reasons A&M failed to bring home its first championship due to his regular season production.
Montgomery is an equally awesome human being. His professionalism makes him a perfect fit for one of the league’s oldest and most successful franchises. At the same time, his 27 home runs last season showed scouts how powerful he could be at the plate for years to come.
1st-rder Braden Montgomery signs w/@RedSox for $5 million (slot 12 = $5,484,600). @AggieBaseball OF, switch-hitter better from left side, plus power to all fields, up to 96 mph on mound, classic RF profile. Broke right ankle in super regionals, so 2025 debut. @MLBDraft pic.twitter.com/sIkBu1TN9d
