What’s your guess? .350/.475/.625 If Vaughn put up those numbers in AA, he'd be putting up a wRC+ north of 220. Robert had a wRC+ at AA of 155 with a 362/518. If Vaughn put up 475/625, that would be unreal and he wouldn't be long for the minor leagues as that would be historically good at that level.

If hes doing that hes going to be promoted straight from AA! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Practically the same build, Killebrew hit 45 homeruns with regularity in the most dominant pitching era since deadball. Vaughn is bigger than Hank Aaron or Willie Mays. So same size or bigger than three of the top 10 homerun hitters of all time, and those guys played when hitting bombs actually meant something. Similar in size to Muncy who just had back to back 35 HR seasons playing in arguably the best pitcher's park in baseball. Honestly don't know how his power projects but I don't think being six foot even is going to stop him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he hits like HK, I'll be really happy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vulture Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 (edited) That's an older Killebrew with what appears to be beefier shoulders, but damn if they don't otherwise look similar. And check how the catcher has his bare hand exposed to the pitch in the Killebrew shot. Don't see that anymore.

Dominikk85 Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 I think vaughn has a bit less power than killebrew but could be a better hitter. Killebrew is just a career 256 hitter (i.e 50 grade bat) while fangraphs has rated vaughn as a 65 grade bat (.290). Killebrew had several mid 40s homer seasons and I expect vaughn to be more a low to mid 30s guy maybe with a 40 as an exception. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they will end up having similar results career wise for OPS. They'll just have different abilities doing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That only plays a part in a hitter’s overall power, you have to take into consideration that power comes from how much quick twitch muscle mass they possess. There’s no way to measure this but is really the important factor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vulture Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 Holy hell. That's a thing of beauty right there. One of the best swings a person would ever see. This guy might end up the best of the bunch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
