Connor Higgins was drafted in the 30th round out of Arizona State University in 2018 by the LA Angels and the Pennsylvania native is. A big dude. Higgins is 6’5 and 240 pounds and when you see him on the mound he looks like someone who can bring it.
The left-handed reliever has hit as high as 96 on the radar gun this season and usually lies between 92 and 94 for his fastball. In addition he also has a wicked slider and a change-up which has vastly improved. Higgins started the season in Low Single-A Burlington where he was lights out as a reliever for the Bees.
