New Mexico’s breakout weekend arm is punching above his weight
In the 2026 season, Ryan Castillo turned into one of New Mexico’s most dependable starters, earning First Team All-Mountain West honors after taking a major step forward with a 4.91 ERA in conference play and 41 strikeouts over 47.2 innings. He also delivered a nine-inning complete game and was named MW Pitcher of the Week, showing the kind of competitive edge coaches love: strike-throwing, stamina, and the ability to work deep into games. He’s a strong fit for teams wanting a tough, improving righty with rotation upside and clear momentum.
