FWIW, the batted ball metrics seem to indicate Vaughn has been unlucky so far.

Does that mean he’s worth holding onto to see if he breaks out of it? Or is it a “sell now before even his batted ball stats start to decline?”

He hits too many balls on the ground to take advantage of how consistently hard he hits the ball.

Apparently so. Confirmed his GB% is high on Fangraphs. Yikes.

Per baseball savant, he also doesn’t have a good launch angle when he barrels the ball very often, so it ends up on the ground way too much.
