Wiggins is a 6-foot-5, 210-poundrighthander with some of the most electric pure fastball velocity in the high school class. He’s the younger brother of Jaxon Wiggins, whom the Cubs drafted out of Arkansas with their second-round pick in 2023. The next power-armed righthander in the Wiggins family, Carson has already been up to 99 mph and consistently sits in the 93-97 range with velocity that simply overpowers high school hitters. He’s more than just a hard-thrower. Wiggins will also snap off a hard slider in the mid 80s that looks like an above-average pitch when he’s landing it in the zone or burying it below for chases. His fastball and slider are his best pitches currently, but he also mixes in a mid-80s splitter that has potential if he can add a bit more feel for the pitch. While Wiggins operates with a low-effort delivery that belies his velocity, he struggles with his command and consistency from outing to outing. When Wiggins is putting his fastball and slider around the zone, he looks like a top pitcher in the class, but those days are rare and he has been too inconsistent from outing to outing. Wiggins will be 19 on draft day and an eligible sophomore in 2026 if he makes it to campus at Arkansas.

Wiggins is the brother of Jaxon Wiggins, who the Cubs drafted with their second-round pick out of Arkansas in 2023, Carson is another power arm in the family. Wiggins is one of the hardest-throwing preps in the 2024 class and has been up to 99 mph and typically sits in the 93-97 mph range in short stints. That fastball velocity alone is overpowering, but he has also flashed a real slider with power in the mid 80s and mixes in a solid mid-80s splitter as well. Wiggins operates with a low-effort delivery and has a great pitcher’s frame at 6-foot-5, 210 pounds but he can be wildly inconsistent from outing to outing with his control and needs to make strides as a strike thrower. He is committed to Arkansas like his brother before him.
