Austin Francis is giving New Mexico State steady, switch-hitting-style middle-infield value
Austin Francis has been a productive, reliable bat for New Mexico State, hitting .315 in the 2026 season with 29 hits, 22 runs, and 21 RBIs through early May[1]. The bigger sell is his all-around profile: a right-handed infielder who brings contact, run production, and a gritty, team-first presence, plus evidence from prior stops that he can carry an offense and handle everyday duty. If your team wants a steady infield piece who competes every night and doesn’t shrink from pressure, he’s worth a serious look[1][2].
