New Mexico State Baseball has combined to win 69 games the previous 2 seasons. In addition to the wins on the field, the Aggies have placed six players in professional baseball in 2016 and 2017.
Among those professionals is Marcel Renteria, who was drafted higher than any pitcher in program history when he was selected in the sixth round of the 2017 MLB Draft by the New Mexico Mets. Only one month into his pro career, NM State Athletics conducted a Q and A with Marcel following his first three professional appearances.
