24-Year-Old PitcherP
Chicago Cubs AAA
2026 Fantasy Outlook
Known for his high-end stuff and shaky control dating back to his draft year in 2023, Wiggins established himself as one of the better power pitching prospects in the upper minors in 2025. He threw 59.2 innings in 2024 -- his first year back from Tommy John surgery -- and built up to 78 innings in 2025. His 10.4 percent walk rate at Double-A was his best mark since Single-A in 2024, but he walked six in 9.2 innings at Triple-A. He mysteriously missed about two months, with a two-inning outing on July 19 sandwiched between, with the club citing arm fatigue. The 6-foot-6 Wiggins boasts one of the best fastballs in the minors -- an upper-90s behemoth that touches triple digits and has prototypical movement. His upper-80s hard slider is his best secondary while his changeup is an ascending third pitch. The tall righty held lefty hitters to a .492 OPS last season, so it seems he has the repertoire to start. His health and command are the two main things for him to master as a starter. If Wiggins stays relatively healthy, he could spend more time in the majors than the minors in 2026 and he offers a high strikeout ceiling. Just be prepared for some volatility, given his inconsistent command. Read Past Outlooks

Moving up to Triple-A
PChicago Cubs  AAA
September 3, 2025
The Cubs are promoting Wiggins from Double-A Knoxville to Triple-A Iowa on Wednesday, Andy Martinez of Marquee Sports Network reports.
Analysis
The 23-year-old is one of the organization's top prospects and will move up to the highest level of the minors after posting a 1.93 ERA, 0.90 WHIP and 52:17 K:BB over 42 innings (10 starts) at Double-A. Wiggins opened the 2025 campaign with High-A South Bend and is now just one step away from the majors, though he isn't likely to make his MLB debut until 2026.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Takes step forward in 2025
PChicago Cubs  AAA
December 31, 2025
Wiggins was a breakout prospect in the Cubs organization during the 2025 season, according to Jonathan Mayo, Jim Callis and Sam Dykstra of MLB.com.
Analysis
The Cubs wanted Wiggins to take the next step in his development during the 2025 season, and the former Arkansas standout did exactly that. He posted a 2.19 ERA and 97:36 K:BB in 78 innings while moving from High-A to Triple-A. If he doesn't suffer any injuries, Wiggins should pitch in the majors with the Cubs at some point during the 2026 campaign.
