Baseball
UNM signed 15 recruits during the early signing period.
Of the 15 recruits, four are from New Mexico. There are 14 high school players from seven states.
“This is one of the better recruiting classes in New Mexico history,” head coach Ray Birmingham said in a release. “I tip my hat to Coach (Ken) Jacome and his recruiting efforts. He has done a super job bringing in good talent. Now we just have to sweat losing some guys to the MLB Draft.”
Eight of the recruits are pitchers. Fernando Fernandez-Beltran is the only junior college transfer that signed with the Lobos. He came from New Mexico Junior College.
