Mets Draft Wiggins to Rebuild Future | MLB News
Description
The Mets are rebuilding with a bold move in this year’s MLB Draft, selecting high-octane right-hander Carson Wiggins—27th overall—to inject firepower into a depleted farm system. Though sidelined by Tommy John surgery, Wiggins dazzled at the draft combine with a 97 mph fastball and a nasty slider, hinting at future ace potential. His brother, Jaxon, is also a rising prospect recovering from similar surgery, adding family intrigue. With no MLB innings this season, Wiggins may come cheap, freeing up cap space for later picks. The Mets are betting he’ll become a dominant force—starter or closer—helping reshape their roster for the future.
