Miguel Vargas, acquired by the White Sox in a major trade, struggled significantly after the deal but has shown resilience. Over the offseason, he gained 20 pounds and revamped his swing, resulting in a strong spring performance so far with a .391 batting average. His hitting coach emphasized the importance of maintaining Vargas's confidence, noting his previous success in the minors. Vargas himself expressed a desire for consistency both at the plate and in the field, indicating a positive mindset and determination to improve.
His confidence was shot a little bit. It was tough for him, man. As a former player, you feel really bad for a guy.
I feel way stronger. My confidence is also up there, but that doesn't mean I want to stop there.
Vargas batted .308/.396/.493 with 67 homers, 13 triples and 143 doubles in the Dodgers farm system. Success is not foreign to him.
We have to keep working to let him know it’s going to come. We have to keep him positive so he can succeed.
