Tough as nails: Baylor baseball’s RHP Will Rigney overcomes lowest of lows

By Foster Nicholas | Sports Writer

Three season ending injuries were the start to junior right-handed pitcher Will Rigney’s collegiate career, but he’s battled back to get on the mound for Baylor baseball.

“There just were definitely some moments where I wasn’t sure if I was going to be able to play, much less throw again,” Will said. “I need to just be thankful that I’m even out there.”

In 2019, a 6-foot-6-inch tall, 200-pound pitcher stepped foot on Baylor’s campus for the first time as student-athlete. Will grew up in Waco and has been a Baylor fan since he was a kid.
