Summary
Nolan Higgins, Michigan State’s towering relief ace, just got his big league call — the Toronto Blue Jays selected him in the fifth round. After a rocky start, he turned into a shutdown closer by April, striking out 62 in 27 games while walking just 13. With a cannon of a fastball and a fearless mindset, he’s got the raw stuff to be a top-tier reliever — if he can refine his command and add deception. He joins Joseph Dzierwa as the second MSU pitcher drafted in the top five rounds in two years. The Jays see his potential — and are ready to help him polish his pitch.
