Andrew Vaughn (1B/OF, CWS) - Week 17 Waiver Wire Pickups

Andrew Vaughn - Fantasy Baseball Rankings, Waiver Wire Pickups, Draft Sleepers

Andrew Vaughn is a fantasy baseball waiver wire pickup for Week 17 of the 2021 MLB season. Consider adding the 1B and OF if he's free agent in your leagues.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues

ROSTERED IN: 33% of leagues

ANALYSIS: We've recommended Vaughn as a streamer in the past and we're going back to the well this week. The 23-year-old was on fire before the All-Star break, slashing a monstrous .395/.417/.744 with three doubles, four home runs, and nine RBI with 10 runs over the last 12 games. He's battled inconsistency, as one would expect with a rookie slugger, but he's put together a decent campaign overall. He's batting .253/.320/.452 to go along with 18 doubles, 10 home runs, 26 RBI, one stolen base, and 38 runs scored over 241 at-bats. The slugging percentage certainly stands out and it shouldn't be surprising with his 50.3% hard-hit rate (89th percentile), 115 mph max exit velocity (95th percentile), and 91.8 mph average exit velocity.

His expected statistics (.249 xBA/.343 xwOBA/.450 xSLG) aren't far off his real stats so what you see is what you get. He's had his ups and downs as mentioned earlier but he's just beginning to scratch the surface of his potential. He hits the ball to all fields with a 31.5% pull rate, 34.8% straight rate, and 33.7% oppo rate and there are RBI opportunities aplenty in the loaded White Sox lineup. Vaughn entered the season with a tremendous amount of hype but was cast aside when he didn't start producing immediately. His roster shares have ticked up recently given how he ended the first half of the season but the getting is still good. He's worth a test drive against the Twins pitching staff, which ranks in the bottom 10% in wOBA, wOBAcon, xBA, xwOBA, xSLG, and xwOBAcon.
