Trending on the Farm: Colson Montgomery strong, Barons clinch playoff berth

Noah Schultz – MLB Pipeline White Sox #2

Colson Montgomery – MLB Pipeline White Sox #1

Edgar Quero – MLB Pipeline White Sox #4

Edgar Quero was the second best Barons offensive contributor last week, backed by his 5-for-5 performance at the historic Rickwood Field.

Nick Nastrini – MLB Pipeline White Sox #8

While the walks are certainly something you’d like to see less of, it was a much needed rebound performance for Nick Nastrini against Gwinnett.

Jake Eder – MLB Pipeline White Sox #10

A tough opening frame in Jake Eder’s start put the biggest blemishes on his outing, allowing five of his six runs in the first inning, all via the longball.

Grant Taylor – MLB Pipeline White Sox #13

Two hits (double, single) led off the frame before setting down the next two batters. Then a two run double, two run home run, and another double ended Pallette’s day. The last double would come in to score on a home run to the very next batter.
