Texas State’s Alizaeh Gutierrez brings left-handed depth and a bulldog relief profile
In the 2026 season, Alizaeh Gutierrez has been a useful left-handed arm for Texas State, working mostly in relief but also earning a few starts; he entered the season with a 1-0 record, a 5.27 ERA, and 14 strikeouts in 13.2 innings, and he has flashed both swing-and-miss ability and multi-inning value. What stands out most is his versatility and poise under pressure—Texas State trusted him in high-leverage spots, including a win over Houston and late-game innings in conference play. The fit? A solid bullpen piece with starter upside if command sharpens.
