Draft Night Overview
Aiden Robbins was selected 92nd overall by the New York Mets in the third round of the 2026 MLB Draft, a moment that capped a collegiate journey that began at Seton Hall before he transferred to the University of Texas.
During his sophomore year at Texas, Robbins topped the team in nearly every offensive metric, from batting average and runs scored to doubles, walks and stolen bases, showcasing a rare blend of contact hitting and plate discipline.
His junior season reinforced that dominance, as he again led the Longhorns in slugging percentage, RBIs, home runs, hits, total bases, walks and at‑bats, underscoring his consistency as a power‑contact threat.
Even as a freshman, Robbins posted a .302 average with 26 runs, hinting at the breakout potential that would later blossom in Austin.
The outfielder’s impact was most evident in the Austin Regional, where he batted .333 and launched a career‑high two home runs in a win over Holy Cross, helping the Longhorns advance.
Future Prospects
Now drafted by the Mets, Robbins joins a franchise known for developing young talent, and analysts expect his disciplined approach and versatile skill set to translate quickly to the professional game.
