| 0:00.0 | Let's take a closer look at the most added players on CBS. Up next on Fantasy Baseball Today Express. |
| 0:07.2 | Welcome in to FBT Express on Tuesday, August 5th. I am Frank Stamphill, joined by Chris Towers, |
| 0:13.2 | and let's take a look at some of the most added hitters. First up, no surprise, but Andrew Vaughn is up to 66% |
| 0:20.3 | rostered at this point. |
| 0:21.9 | Still could be out there in some shallower leagues, and Chris, he feels like a must-raster |
| 0:26.5 | player across the board. |
| 0:28.2 | Yeah, I think you kind of just have to treat it as if it's real, even though we have a pretty |
| 0:36.8 | big sample size of Andrew Vaughn being a pretty |
| 0:39.6 | average hitter, what he's done since getting to Milwaukee, the fact that it coincided with a |

| 1:07.7 | But there are some process things that he's changed. |
| 1:10.7 | His bat speed has increased to 71.8 miles per hour since joining the Brewers. |
| 1:16.8 | He was around 478, sorry, he was around 70 miles per hour before the trade there. |
| 1:24.6 | But despite that, his swing length is actually down. And usually you see the opposite. |
| 1:32.0 | Swing length is correlated with swing speeds. So the faster you swing, the longer your swing tends to be. |
| 1:38.4 | The fact that he's pulling off the trick of swinging harder and having a shorter swing leads me to believe that there are some legitimate |
| 1:46.9 | mechanical changes here under the hood that could make this sustainable and he's hitting 23% |
