Wiggins needs movement on his pitches. Most college teams can hit 94- 98 fast balls.

The scouting report on McKinney out of HS -

Changeup: 55/60

A knockout weapon already for McKinney, the changeup is his bread and butter; going to get swings and misses due to his arm action, which works masterfully at deceiving the hitter into believing the fastball is coming; pitch has really good late fading action once it gets close to the plate, and his feel for it is tremendous.


Don't need much movement on a 4 seam when this is thrown purposefully... helped McKinney become a freshman AA.

I bring this up because Wiggins doesn't look to have feel for any breaking balls, and an effective change doesn't require as much mastery of geometry.
