## Resource

The Mets pull off a bold move in the 2026 MLB Draft, snagging high-ceiling righty Carson Wiggins—27th overall—with their lone top-90 pick. A 97 mph fastball, elite slider, and clean delivery make him a tantalizing prospect, even if command needs work. Brother of Cubs’ Jaxon Wiggins, he missed 2026 due to surgery but returned healthy for the combine. Scouts call it a “home run swing”—a gamble on raw talent and development, with the Mets betting big on turning him into a starter or closer. With the team in a losing streak and David Stearns steering the ship, this pick signals a long-term rebuild fueled by upside.
