Andrew Vaughn admitted to putting unnecessary pressure on himself at the plate to start his career. It makes sense, considering Vaughn needed to learn a new position in left field in his first major-league stint, while being looked at as a way to fill the gigantic hole left in the batting order by Eloy Jiménez’s injury — all before his first career at-bat.
It led to an 0-for-9 start through his first three games. Now that Vaughn looks more relaxed at the plate, he’s hitting like the White Sox envisioned from MLB.com’s No. 12 prospect.
