Lauren Garcia is a middle-of-the-order impact bat for NM State
In the 2026 season, Lauren Garcia has been one of New Mexico State’s most dangerous run producers at first base, hitting .320 with a .936 OPS, 39 hits, 9 doubles, 5 home runs and 26 RBIs in 42 games[5]. She also earned CUSA Player of the Week in 2025 after a huge burst of extra-base damage, which lines up with the scouting read: she brings legit gap-to-fence power, RBI punch, and a competitive edge that shows up when the stakes rise[2][4].
