Colson Montgomery's tools (80) outpace production (78) by 2 points. Primary finding: high exit velocity but low barrel rate — bat-to-ball efficiency is leaving power on the table. Also flagged: Passive In-Zone Approach.

Increase in-zone swing rate, especially on fastballs in favorable counts
Hittable takes / Expansion guardrail| Signal | Cause | Fix | Confidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| Power Efficiency Gap0.75 | High exit velocity but low barrel rate — bat-to-ball efficiency is leaving power on the table | Optimize swing path to increase squared-up rate at productive launch anglesEach 2pp barrel rate increase projects to ~0.015 xwOBA improvement | LOW |
| Passive In-Zone Approach0.50 | Excellent plate discipline but too passive on hittable pitches — letting strikes go by | Increase in-zone swing rate, especially on fastballs in favorable countsEach 5pp zone swing increase with maintained contact quality adds ~0.012 wOBA | MEDIUM |
