New Mexico State baseball on Wednesday announced the addition of two transfer pitchers, including St. Pius alumnus Hayden Walker from Pepperdine.
Will Sierra also is coming to NMSU from Washington State.
Walker, a 6-foot-2 left-hander, pitched 10 innings over the course of two seasons with Pepperdine. He was the Gatorade prep player of the year as a high school junior with a 0.48 earned-run average.
“Hayden can really pitch, a southpaw with the ability to change speeds,” said Aggies pitching coach Keith Zuniga. “Hayden’s mentality and pitch ability instantly makes us better.”
Right-hander Sierra, a Montreal native, was 3-2 with a 5.
