According to FanGraphs, Andrew Vaughn is the least valuable regular in Major League Baseball through 50 games, just like he was through 20 games, 30 games and 40 games. Baseball-Reference.com doesn’t have the capacity to search its WAR leaderboard by date ranges, but considering he also ranks dead last (-1.6 bWAR, compared to -1.3 fWAR), the story wouldn’t be much different from the other leading brand.
Vaughn’s slide has continued despite an uptick in power this month, because no other part of his game has improved. He’s gone without a walk in 18 consecutive games, he’s rated as one of the 10 most conservative baserunners in the sport and also is tied for the AL-lead in outs made at home plate, and he remains the same underwhelming presence in the field.
