Jaxon Wiggins

Known for his high-end stuff and shaky control dating back to his draft year in 2023, Wiggins established himself as one of the better power pitching prospects in the upper minors in 2025. He threw 59.2 innings in 2024 -- his first year back from Tommy John surgery -- and built up to 78 innings in 2025. His 10.4 percent walk rate at Double-A was his best mark since Single-A in 2024, but he walked six in 9.2 innings at Triple-A. He mysteriously missed about two months, with a two-inning outing on July 19 sandwiched between, with the club citing arm fatigue. The 6-foot-6 Wiggins boasts one of the best fastballs in the minors -- an upper-90s behemoth that touches triple digits and has prototypical movement. His upper-80s hard slider is his best secondary while his changeup is an ascending third pitch. The tall righty held lefty hitters to a .492 OPS last season, so it seems he has the repertoire to start. His health and command are the two main things for him to master as a starter. If Wiggins stays relatively healthy, he could spend more time in the majors than the minors in 2026 and he offers a high strikeout ceiling. Just be prepared for some volatility, given his inconsistent command. Read Past Outlooks
