Texas Rangers target pitcher Carson Wiggins in 2026 MLB Draft

The Texas Rangers are considering Carson Wiggins, a 6'5" pitcher from the University of Arkansas, as a potential draft pick in the upcoming 2026 MLB Draft set for July 11. Wiggins, who is returning from elbow surgery, is noted for his fastball that can reach up to 102 mph and a strong slider. His performance at the MLB Draft Combine is critical as teams assess his readiness and command after limited previous innings pitched. With a first-round selection at #16 and additional picks at #54 and #89, the Rangers aim to strengthen their pitching roster.
