Arkansas pitcher Jaxon Wiggins throws during a game against Murray State on Friday, March 5, 2021, in Fayetteville.
FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas fans might see right-handed pitcher Jaxon Wiggins at the other end of a game soon.
Wiggins, who has been a late-innings reliever this season, is being evaluated as a starting pitcher, Arkansas coach Dave Van Horn and pitching coach Matt Hobbs said this week. Hobbs said Wiggins threw around 65 pitches to hitters Monday.
“He’s a strong, physical kid who has not had a ton of mileage,” Hobbs said.
