Aiden Robbins is a member of the New York Mets organization. Robbins, a Holy Ghost Prep graduate who starred at Texas this spring, was selected with the 92nd pick in the middle of the third round in Saturday’s MLB Draft. The Robbins family hosted a draft party for friends and family in Lower Makefield, allowing him to share the moment with those closest to him.
Robbins is a right-handed outfielder who was projected to be drafted as high as No. 16, with most mock drafts placing him somewhere in the 20s to 50s range. MLB.com had him ranked 29th in this year’s draft class. The Texas product stood out in college, as Aiden Robbins, listed at 6-foot-2 and 200 pounds, led the Longhorns in key offensive categories during the season. He posted 24 home runs, 64 RBIs, 79 hits, and a slugging percentage of .696, while batting .333 and collecting 10 doubles after transferring from Seton Hall, where he spent his first two collegiate seasons. His performance earned him Baseball America first-team All-America honors as an outfielder for the season.
The 21-year-old Robbins enjoyed a strong campaign, including three home runs in Texas’s regular-season series against Auburn and four homers across two games against Texas A&M. He also belted a home run to initiate the Austin Super Regional-clinching win over Oregon. These achievements helped elevate him as one of the nation’s top collegiate hitters entering the draft.
The draft’s initial four rounds were conducted on Saturday, with rounds five through twenty scheduled for Sunday. In the surrounding local area, Robbins’ selection continued a pattern of notable picks by players from Bucks County. Sixteen years earlier, Central Bucks East product Nick Bitsko had gone earlier than Robbins, selected 24th by the Tampa Bay Rays in 2020. More recently, CB East graduate Chase Harlan went 98th overall to the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2024, marking continued activity among local talent in the draft.
