Wiggins’ Injury Halts Rise | New York Mets News
Description
Carson Wiggins was a phenom out of Roland High School, a towering 6’5”, 210-pound arm that dominated with a mid-90s fastball and a nasty breaking ball—so good he committed to Arkansas over being drafted. He flashed elite stuff early in college, striking out batters with ease, but a brutal elbow injury in late April ended his season and forced surgery that sidelined him for an entire year. Doctors told him to stay off the mound, a crushing blow for a pitcher who thrived on command and velocity. Now, the focus shifts to recovery and refining his mechanics—because if he can return healthy, he’s got the raw stuff to be a top-tier MLB arm.
