Summary
Cal Higgins, a former Texas Longhorn who went undrafted, is now officially a Philadelphia Phillies pitcher—ready to launch his pro baseball career. Despite a solid but unspectacular college stint at Texas, where he posted a 5.56 ERA in 2026, Higgins dazzled at Western Kentucky, dropping his ERA to 1.87 as a junior and racking up 52 strikeouts and 6 saves. Now, he’ll have a familiar face in Philly—his old Longhorn teammate Ruger Riojas, also drafted by the Phillies. Higgins joins a growing wave of Texas talent heading to MLB, following several recent draft picks. His mission? Prove he belongs in the Phillies’ future and climb toward the majors.
