Outlook Andrew Vaughn
Andrew Vaughn is scorching hot and must be started during his historic tear
Vaughn has been arguably the hottest hitter in baseball, posting a blistering .478 batting average with a home run and eight RBIs over his last seven days. This surge is fueling the first-place Brewers, who lead the division with a 41-25 record. Despite recovering from early-season hamate surgery, Vaughn has fully reclaimed a key run-producing role in the lineup.
While his recent .400 average over the last month is bound for some regression, his plate discipline is currently elite, striking out just seven times over his last 75 at-bats. Our models expect eventual regression toward a .251 projection, but his current form far eclipses his career baseline. Ride his hot hand while he is locked in.
Looking ahead, the Brewers have three home games remaining against the Phillies. Vaughn gets highly favorable matchups against righties Andrew Painter (6.21 ERA) and Aaron Nola (5.86 ERA) before a tough Sunday finale against Cristopher Sanchez. With two highly exploitable matchups on deck, he is a locked-in option. Verdict: Start.
