Draft Prospects

School: Indiana. Drafted: Never Drafted
Age At Draft: 21.8
The crowned jewel of Indiana’s 2023 recruiting class, playing time has been a bit hard to come by for Wiggins in year one due to how much depth the Hoosiers boast in their outfield. However, he has made the most of his at-bats. On top of his .346 average, four of Wiggins’ nine hits have gone for extra bases and he has more walks (nine) than strikeouts (seven). He has a strong, athletic build and is an imposing presence in the batter’s box. Wiggins has plenty of bat speed and does a nice job of hitting against a firm front side. He has flashed plus raw power as well as the ability to drive the baseball with authority to the opposite field. Wiggins seldom expands the strike zone, and so far this spring has demonstrated an advanced approach. He projects to be an everyday member of Indiana’s lineup come next season and could be in line for a breakout sophomore campaign. -

Wiggins is a physically imposing, lefthanded-hitting corner outfielder who can drive the ball with impact. His power is evident during batting practice and it showed up at the Perfect Game WWBA 17U National Championship in July, when he hit three home runs with six extra-base hits in 19 plate appearances. He also showed plus raw power and strength at the 2023 MLB Draft Combine, where he hit a ball over 430 feet. He has both bat speed and plenty of natural strength in a 6-foot-2, 195-pound frame with long levers to create leverage. However, Wiggins tends to pull off the ball early, which against better pitching leads to a higher swing-and-miss rate and a lot of balls sliced the opposite way. There could be more game power to unlock with some adjustments and once he learns which pitches to try to pull out front for damage. He doesn’t chase off the plate excessively and will work his walks. Wiggins is a below-average runner and an offensive-oriented player in an outfield corner. He is committed to Indiana.
