October 10, 1999 Orocovis, Puerto Rico
2017 14th Round Draft Pick (Cubs), Alberto Melendez Perez High School
Truncated.
The word that best describes Vazquez’ minor league career is “truncated.” In his draft year, he played at the Rookie Level in Mesa, and was the 2018 starter at short for Eugene. Then, it got a bit screwy, and it had very little to do with Vazquez.
I’m not sure how vividly you remember the 2019 season, particularly in the minor leagues, but injuries were par for the course. Early on, Nico Hoerner missed a bunch of time. A few other middle infielders missed quite a few games, as well.
