Brewers' Andrew Vaughn on 229-RBI pace in Milwaukee

Andrew Vaughn has been born again in Milwaukee.

After being an utter disappointment in his Chicago White Sox career, he looks like the best hitter on the planet with the Brewers.

Maybe the best way to sum it up comes from White Sox stats expert Jay Cuda on X. He points out that Vaughn, if he played a full season with the Brewers at this pace, would end up with 58 home runs and 229 RBI.

It's crazy that every one of Vaughn's counting stats is already ahead of his White Sox numbers in just a third of the games.

It's also just something that no one could've seen coming.

Vaughn was the No. 3 overall pick in 2019 by the White Sox in the draft out of Cal.

In five seasons in Chicago at the MLB level, Vaughn had a negative Wins Above Replacement number.

He played more than 600 games with the White Sox and hardly ever looked like an average, let alone above-average, MLB player.

But in Milwaukee, he's on fire and can't slow down.

He even recently tied a Barry Bonds record, becoming the second-player ever with a .475 average, 1.000 slugging percentage and 15 RBI in his first 10 home games with a new team.

The Brewers only had to trade away struggling pitcher Aaron Civale to get Vaughn. And it looks brilliant so far.

Vaughn seems like he has to slow down at some point. After all, no one has ever had 229 RBI in a full season, so that pace is a bit much.

But it seems like something has been unlocked, whether it's mechanical or just good vibes.

The Brewers will happily take it, and so will Vaughn.
