Elite Left-Handed Pitcher & Utility Star for NM State Aggies
Faith Aragon, a Carlsbad native and former UTEP standout, is NM State’s most dominant left-handed pitcher, striking out 242 batters in the 2026 season—topping Aggie history and ranking No. 5 nationally. Her intensity is fueled by beef, and her dual-threat utility role adds rare lineup flexibility. Though the team’s 27-27 finish was disappointing, Aragon won 21 of those games, accounting for nearly half of NM State’s total strikeouts. Offensively, she posted a .369 batting average and 40 runs (9th and 8th in CUSA), earning First Team All-CUSA honors. Her resilience, elite strikeout ability, and high-intensity personality make her a perfect fit for any team seeking a game-changing pitcher with offensive upside.
