Higgins

Transfer from Mississippi State that brings a ton of tools to the Parsons’ lineup this season. The speedy centerfielder can hit for average, while also showing the ability to hit for power to all fields from both sides of the plate. The 6-foot-4, 210 pounder shows a direct path to contact while providing plenty of physicality in his swing. Once on base, Higgins is a definite threat as a base stealer. Look for Higgins to add some explosiveness to the Snead State lineup this season with his rare speed/power skill set.

Continued to play a big role, offensively and defensively, for the Yellow Jackets on Saturday. Higgins got the head out on an inside fastball and smoked it to the right field wall in his first at-bat of the day for a double. After recording another hit later in the game on a single to right field, Higgins showed his defensive ability in a huge spot in the game. With his team trailing by one run with two outs, a base hit was hit up the middle to Higgins and he did an excellent job fielding it clean with a quick transfer and delivering a perfect one-hop throw to the plate to gun the runner out attempting to score from 2nd base. Higgins continues to show different aspects of his game that he excels at during each look.

Mississippi State signee) may not have had much to show for on the stat sheet, but the 6-foot-4, 210 pound outfielder had two of the loudest swings of the night for either teams. While having notable strength in that physical frame, Higgins can also move exceptionally well. In the 2nd at-bat, he rolled over a ground ball to 1st base, but clocked a 4.19 home-to-1st from the left side of the box to beat out an infield single. In his 3rd at-bat of the night (1st clip below), Higgins worked himself into a fastball count and got the elevated fastball that he wanted, but lined out right to the left fielder. During his 4th at-bat (2nd clip below) with the bases loaded versus the same pitcher as before, the Mississippi State signee caught a fastball on the outer-black and drove it to the deepest part of the yard for a RBI sacrifice fly. As a switch-hitter, we've seen the power first-hand, including last night, from the right side, but know there is still some thump from the left side. Higgins has a unique combination of speed & strength that he put on display tonight.
