The move to first base is one of the factors that has Andrew Vaughn feeling fresh in September for the Chicago White Sox.
Chicago White Sox first baseman Andrew Vaughn fields a grounder on Aug. 29, 2023.
Vaughn played 107 games in the outfield, mostly in left, and 15 at first base as a rookie in 2021. Last year, he played 84 games in the outfield , served as the designated hitter in 29 games and appeared at first base in 23. “There’s a lot of work to be done. He’s got the work ethic and we’ve got a good coach doing it. He’s going to continue to get better as this thing goes along and going into next year. Spring training is going to be critical, going to get a lot of work. He’s going to end up being a pretty damn good first baseman.”“Just being around the bag, helping the infielders out when they make a little off-line throw or a throw in the dirt, being able to get that ball and get that out,” Vaughn said.
One thought entering the season was Vaughn would feel more fresh down the stretch than in the past seasons because he wouldn’t be on the move as much as when in the outfield.“When you have to run him out there in the outfield, it’s obviously going to affect the body and you’re probably taking away from the one thing you’re expecting him to do, which is hit,” Grifol said.“I definitely feel fresh,” he said. “It’s still a grind of a season, we’re games in.
