White Sox send Colson Montgomery to Arizona for swing work <\/a><\/p>\nAccording to Rotowire\u2019s John Venezia, \u201cThe former Golden Spikes winner out of Cal hasn\u2019t lived up to the hype as a Major Leaguer. Take it from me, when you win that award as the best amateur (usually College) player in the country, a lot is expected of you in the MLB. Vaughn has never hit .275 nor had more than 21 taters. But even as a 27 year old, it\u2019s more than possible to say he\u2019s a late bloomer with his best baseball in front of him.<\/p>\n
\u201cBatting .162 with a .203 OBP, and three homers may make you think I\u2019m off my rocker. But Baseball Savant has pegged Vaughn as one of the top three or four most unlucky hitters in 2025 (based on the formula above).<\/p>\n
\u201cWhile the BABIP is a paltry .185, take a look at his 15.5 barrel rate (career best), 51.2 hard hit rate (career best), and 91.7 average exit velocity (career best). Though it doesn\u2019t bear any fruit from a reality\/fantasy stand point, it appears as if Vaughn is trending towards an uptick in production. A lot of his advanced metrics show us he\u2019s been playing a lot better than what the bottom line is, so at least, he\u2019s a player worth monitoring.\u201d<\/p>\n
