Jake Carvajal gives NM State a veteran bullpen arm with swing-and-miss flashes
In the 2026 season, Jake Carvajal—now a redshirt senior right-hander for New Mexico State—has shown he can be a useful leverage piece, including scoreless work against Baylor and a win over Western Kentucky, while also taking some hard contact in other outings. His appeal is experience: a 6-foot-2, 205-pound arm who has already navigated a stop at Northern Colorado and can pitch in multiple game states. If your team wants an older, battle-tested reliever with upside when his command is synced, Carvajal fits the mold.
