Jaxon Wiggins Fantasy Stats

Chicago Cubs pitching prospect Jaxon Wiggins has been promoted to Triple-A Iowa following a successful 10-game stint at Double-A Knoxville. The Cubs' fourth-ranked prospect (MLB No. 81) began the season at High-A, pitching to a 1.71 ERA, 0.99 WHIP, and a 17.1 percent K-BB% over six appearances (five starts, 26 1/3 innings pitched), then followed that up with a 1.93 ERA, 0.93 WHIP, and a 21.3 percent K-BB% at Double-A in 42 innings pitched. The 6-foot-6 hurler is now in a position to make a run at a big league debut next year and has the potential to be a solid starter in the majors. With big strikeout stuff, he could be fantasy relevant as soon as next year, but he'll need to limit the walks to be successful.

Chicago Cubs pitching prospect Jaxon Wiggins fired four no-hit innings for Single-A Myrtle Beach on Thursday with a walk and six strikeouts. The Arkansas product has been sensational since being promoted to Single-A with a 2.14 ERA and 0.81 WHIP in 21 innings with 26 strikeouts and five walks. The Cubs' No. 19 prospect is working on a pitch limit this season and has yet to surpass four innings in a game, but he has shown an excellent strikeout rate and has stepped up his game lately after a bit of a slow start in rookie ball. The 22-year-old could advance quickly through Chicago's farm system.
