View Draft Report
Quiggle didn’t receive a lot of draft hype until his junior year at Grand Canyon in 2019, when his performance improved as the season progressed. Playing first base early in the season, Quiggle eventually moved into his more natural outfield position, and he also continued to show increased power. Late in the season, Quiggle was leading the Antelopes in hitting with a .344/.420/.623 slash line. There’s still room for improvement, however, as Quiggle doesn’t always use his hands well during his swing and he struggles to stay back on pitches at times. While his 10 home runs were second on the team as of mid-May, Quiggle is more of a gap-to-gap hitter. He’s an average runner, and his average arm strength is enough for all three outfield positions. Projected as a fourth outfielder at the next level, Quiggle could be drafted early on Day 3.
