Summary
The Mets took a bold, high-risk move in the draft, selecting Tommy John rehabbing pitcher Carson Wiggins 27th overall—despite his injury and lack of competitive action since 2025. Before surgery, he dominated at Arkansas with a 3.21 ERA, 100 mph fastballs, and a brother (Jaxon) already a Cubs prospect. With only one top-91 pick due to tax penalties and Bo Bichette’s signing, this gamble could reshape their future—if Wiggins returns to elite form.
