Cal Higgins brings power-lefty relief value to Texas after a dominant 2025 at WKU
Higgins arrives in Austin as a proven late-inning lefty who delivered a 1.87 ERA, 6 saves, 52 strikeouts, and a .190 opponent average in 43.1 innings in the 2025 season at Western Kentucky. His calling card is strikeout stuff and matchup flexibility, backed by record-setting production at WKU and a track record of handling leverage; he also appears physically built for relief work at 6'0", 240. For Texas, he looks like a fit if the staff wants a dependable, power-oriented bullpen arm with real closing experience and a high-motor competitive profile.[1][4][2]
