The talented freshman came out of the pen on opening day, and showed some big time stuff for the Coyotes. The 6’2 RHP came out aggressively with a 2 pitch mix that was borderline dominant. The fastball sat 94-95 the entire outing and he bumped a couple 96’s. It is a quick arm, and he moves really well down the mound. He showed quality glove side command with the offering, and as we get deeper into the season I could see the velo ticking up even more. He also threw a mid 80’s slider that looked sharper than when I saw him in the fall. He got some bad swings out of the zone with the pitch, and it looks to be his put away offering. He flashed one changeup to a LHH and got a swing and a miss for a strikeout. It has flashed avg. when he has thrown it and will become useful if he is to start some games this spring. Overall, a very impressive College debut for Wiggins.
