Raymond Olivas keeps winning high-leverage innings for UCSB
In the 2026 season, Raymond Olivas has emerged as a reliable right-handed bullpen weapon for UC Santa Barbara, highlighted by a 3 1/3-inning, one-hit save against Portland and a win over Pepperdine, showing he can handle pressure without flinching. His calling card is command-and-control: strong strikeout-to-walk numbers in past UCSB and summer-ball work, plus the ability to miss bats and limit damage. He looks like a fit for teams needing a composed, strike-throwing reliever who can bridge innings and cool a game down fast.
