Video: Cubs Top Prospects: Jaxon Wiggins

Jaxon Wiggins returned from Tommy John surgery and reminded everyone just how electric his stuff can be. The 6-foot-7 right-hander comes with command questions, but the ceiling is sky high.

Pretty enthusiastic about the stuff.  Not sure the Cubs pitching infrastructure has facilitated much improvement in wildman issues.  But man would it be nice if Wiggins could sharpen it up and have the major-league control required to get success out of his stuff.  Given our slender volume of rotation guys with ceiling, man would it be impactful to beat the odds and get lucky with Wiggins.  Perhaps a year further removed from TJ, perhaps he'll take a step (or three) in improving his control.

If Wiggins can get his command and control together, he looks like an elite starter. Right now I think hes a high leverage reliever.
