Mets Take Texas Outfielder Aiden Robbins With No. 92 Pick

Robbins is expected to seek an overslot signing that would reduce the Mets' already limited draft bonus pool.

Overview

  • The New York Mets selected Aiden Robbins at 92nd overall in the third round of the MLB Draft on Saturday.
  • Robbins hit .333 with a .696 slugging percentage and 24 home runs at Texas after transferring from Seton Hall, where he hit .422 as a 2025 sophomore.
  • Scouts flagged a steep, unconventional swing and questions about his ability to recognize spin and handle off‑speed pitches, factors teams cited for his slide into the third round.
  • Robbins celebrated his selection with family at a draft party in Lower Makefield, Pennsylvania, marking a personal milestone for the 21‑year‑old outfielder.
  • Because the Mets forfeited a second‑round pick for a prior signing and used an underslot first‑rounder on Carson Wiggins, any overslot bonus for Robbins would eat into scarce pool savings and shape how New York manages future signings.
