Wait, is this a thing? He changed his swing when he got sent back down? I have been extremely busy with the new house and haven't been following the minors or this website as much as I normally do recently.

Swing is shorter and faster by a tick, and he's swinging early in the count. Not walking at an insane 20%+ anymore, but 13-15% is still damn good.

You hope to see an offensive jump at some point, but considering how his offensive profile was considered very raw, he has treaded water both years and that sounds more negative than I am on it, considering some of the offensive years by like Abbott or Guerreros year last year.

Yeah hopefully he can improve enough behind the plate to be a primary catcher. That would help insert a lefty bat in the lineup And would help unclog some of the corner infield depth (if Collins had to move to 1B/DH most of the time). Have a feeling him and McCann are going to spend a lot of time together in the offseason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ron883 Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 Vaughn hitting a lousy .227. @Jack Parkman commented on being disappointed a couple weeks ago and he got jumped on. I'll cut Vaughn slack after a long college season, but still kinda weak debut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do consider this a bit of a red flag but it can be easily overcome by a strong start in 2020.

That's just sucking. You'd have to watch the games to know for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still question his wood bat power, but I'm not worried about his ability to hit for average and a ton of doubles. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
