2024 Fantasy Outlook
The offseason departure of Jose Abreu allowed Vaughn to settle in as the White Sox's primary first baseman in 2023, and he delivered similar results at the plate with 21 homers, 80 RBI, 67 runs and a .258/.314/.429 slash line in 152 games. The production was similar to 2022 but resulted in a barely above-average 103 wRC+ since offense was up across MLB last season. The fact he maintained that solid level of production in a poor Chicago offense is encouraging, though it's also a bit disappointing he didn't take more of a step forward in year three. Now entering his age-26 season, Vaughn has established a decent floor but still has plenty of room for improvement, and he'll need to tap into that upside in order to be a real difference maker for fantasy managers.

How does Andrew Vaughn compare to other hitters?
This section compares his stats with all batting seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 400 plate appearances)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that stat and it would be considered average.
* Exit Velocity and Barrels/PA % are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 400 PA) and Hard Hit Rate is benchmarked against last season's data (min 400 PA). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Retaining regular role
White Sox manager Pedro Grifol said Wednesday that Vaughn's .577 OPS through the first two months of the season won't "force me to overreact on anything," per Vinnie Duber of AllCHGO.com.
ANALYSIS
Vaughn has started 53 of Chicago's first 57 games this season but has been one of the most unproductive players in MLB with minus-0.8 fWAR. The 26-year-old posted a .264/.317/.429 slash line with 38 home runs between 2022 and 2023, but his hard-hit rate has dropped five points to 41.6 percent while his launch angle has increased more than seven degrees to 18.7 degrees. Vaughn's flyball rate of 47.7 percent is 10 percent higher than his career average, and he'll likely need to flatten out his swing a bit in order to turn things around.

2021
2020
Vaughn continued to see inconsistent playing time early and spent time on the injured list with a hand bruise, but in the end he totaled 555 plate appearances, second most on the team. The White Sox used the third overall pick in 2019 to select Vaughn out of college and brought him up quickly even with a lost year of development time due to the pandemic. He has more than held his own, offensively, hitting for respectable power (32 homers) and average (.255) in 261 big-league games to date. While Vaughn has not been good in the outfield, it looks like he will get to move back to his natural position of first base now that Jose Abreu is in Houston. Expect another step forward with the bat in Vaughn's age-25 season and perhaps two if he can be a bit more discerning and selective with the breaking ball.
