You're a closer observer than I am, but that Wiggins start is the best single game performance by a pitching prospect in the Epstein-Hoyer era that I can recall.
Interesting, exciting, planning to watch it back this morning. Brailyn Marquez holds that title now for me, July 25, 2019. Wicks last one in South Bend was really great, Keegan had one in AA before an injury that was amazing, Cade in the playoffs. Those are what come to mind.
To be fair I only caught the tail end of it, but he was holding velo and commanding his pitches well right to the end. With how the Cubs have been handling pitching prospects in recent years, seeing anyone get the leash to go over 80 pitches was surprising.
