Andrew Vaughn, the first baseman for the Chicago White Sox, has been named the second-most unlucky hitter in Major League Baseball for the 2025 season. Based on analysis from Rotowire, which utilized metrics from BaseballSavant.com, Vaughn's expected and actual performance metrics reveal a considerable disparity. His expected batting average is .235, while his actual average is only .162. This misalignment in performance statistics contributes to his ranking among unluckiest hitters, raising concerns about his overall effectiveness as a Major Leaguer despite potential future improvements.
"According to Rotowire's John Venezia, the former Golden Spikes winner out of Cal hasn't lived up to the hype as a Major Leaguer. When you win that award as the best amateur player in the country, a lot is expected of you in the MLB. Vaughn has never hit .275 nor had more than 21 taters. But even as a 27 year old, it's more than possible to say he's a late bloomer with his best baseball in front of him."
"Vaughn's expected batting average is .235, while his actual batting average is significantly lower at .162. This stark difference illustrates why he is considered one of this season's unluckiest hitters."
