A standout safety on St. John Bosco (Calif.) High’s nationally-ranked football team, Vaughns is committed to UCLA to play both baseball and football and is one of the best pure athletes in the draft. A physical 6-foot-2, 210 pounds, Vaughns developed a reputation as a fearsome hitter on the football field and plays with the same intensity on the diamond. He is a plus runner who plays hard, has plus arm strength and shows plus raw power. Vaughns’ tools are loud, but he is still raw as a baseball player because of his two-sport background. He projects as a below-average corner outfielder because he takes bad routes and he swings and misses too much to get to his raw power. Vaughns needs lots of reps on the baseball field and will take time to develop. His tools and athleticism give him upside if teams are willing to be patient.
