KANNAPOLIS — With high draft picks come great expectations, and this year’s Chicago White Sox first-rounder Andrew Vaughn is no exception to that philosophy.
Contrarily, with the rebuild going full-steam ahead and the window of contention rapidly approaching, there may be even more of a sense of urgency for Vaughn to produce immediate results and establish himself as a fast riser in their talented White Sox minor league system.
Vaughn was recognized as perhaps the most advanced hitter available in this year’s draft when he was plucked from the University of California as the No. 3 overall pick.
