Three former New Mexico State baseball players, Nick Gonzales, Joey Ortiz, and Daniel Johnson, are making their mark in the MLB during the 2025 season. Gonzales, playing for the Pittsburgh Pirates, boasts a .265 batting average with four home runs and 13 RBIs, highlighted by a stellar five-hit game against the Milwaukee Brewers. Ortiz, now with the Milwaukee Brewers, has been versatile as the everyday shortstop, hitting .210 with six home runs, including a grand slam in a recent match against the Mets. Meanwhile, Johnson, with the San Francisco Giants, has had a bumpy ride after being called up mid-game but has shown flashes of potential with solid performances.
