Audrey Lopetegui brings swing-and-miss upside and late-inning value for Long Beach State
In the 2026 season, Audrey Lopetegui appeared in 17 games for Long Beach State, made three starts, and logged 28.1 innings with a 2-3 record and one save; the staff also noted she was among the national leaders in saves with three by early March[13][14]. She profiles as a versatile, high-leverage arm rather than a pure volume starter, and her appeal is the poise to be trusted in pressure spots. The caveat: her freshman year was uneven at times, so teams looking for immediate, polished Friday-night dominance may want a longer runway.
