Gene Trujillo is a doubles-driven middle-order bat with real pop for the Lobos
In the 2026 season, Gene Trujillo has been one of New Mexico’s most productive hitters, leading the Lobos with 10 RBI and five doubles in the opening weekend alone and later sitting atop the Mountain West in doubles during the early stretch; he also flashed a .563 average, .632 OBP, and .875 slugging in that first-week surge. The 6-6 first baseman stands out for gap power, run production, and a disciplined approach, and his bounce-back from a wrist injury in 2025 makes the bat look even more legit. If you want a big-bodied corner bat with extra-base upside and hot-start momentum, he’s a strong fit.
