Jaxon Wiggins spent most of the 2022 season as Arkansas’ third starter. At the College World Series, he will almost certainly be a part of the Razorbacks’ plans.
In fact, he could be in the plans far beyond that.
Wiggins, a 6-foot-6, 220-pound sophomore from Roland, Oklahoma, has the stuff of a front-line professional. He was named the No. 3 prospect to watch (eligible for the 2023 draft) at the whole College World Series by ESPN.
“Wiggins is regularly in the upper-90s and has above-average off-speed stuff but is still inexperienced,” the report reads.
Arkansas third baseman Cayden Wallace is the Razorbacks’ top-ranked professional prospect. The report lists him as the No. 3 prospect – eligible for any draft – at the whole tournament. Razorbacks second baseman Robert Moore is the No. 10 prospect.
Also considered for the future are Arkansas right-hander Brady Tygart, left-hander Hagen Smith, shortstop Jalen Battles and infielder Peyton Stovall, who is largely expected to move off of first base to second in the pros.
