Taryn Bennett gives New Mexico State a workhorse arm with upside
In the 2026 season, the 5-foot-10 right-hander has handled heavy innings for New Mexico State, including a four-inning scoreless start on opening day and a five-inning shutout outing in the UTEP sweep; her season line shows swing-and-miss ability but also some volatility, with a 6.44 ERA and 3-7 record in the Aggies’ stats. She stands out for her durability, poise in long outings, and ability to stabilize games when she’s locating. If you need a pitcher who can eat innings and compete, Bennett is worth a serious look—though she’s more “steady battler” than “lights-out ace” right now.
