Aiden Robbins is a member of the New York Mets organization.
Robbins, a Holy Ghost Prep graduate who starred at Texas this spring, was the 92nd pick midway through the third round in Saturday's MLB Draft.
The Robbins family hosted a draft party for friends and family in Lower Makefield, so he got to experience the moment with those close to him.
Robbins, a right-handed outfielder, was projected to go as early as No. 16, with most mock drafts having him anywhere from the 20s to the 50s. MLB.com had him ranked 29th in this year's draft class.
The 6-foot-2, 200-pound Robbins led College World Series qualifier Texas in home runs (24), RBIs (64), hits (79), slugging percentage (.696) while batting .333 with 10 doubles after playing his first two college seasons for Seton Hall. He was named a Baseball America first-team All-American outfielder this season.
Robbins, 21, had three home runs in the Longhorns' regular season series against Auburn and four homers in two games vs. Texas A&M, plus a home run to lead off the Austin Super Regional-clinching win over Oregon.
The first four rounds were held Saturday, with rounds 5-20 scheduled for Sunday.

Former Central Bucks East pitcher Nick Bitsko is the last Bucks County area player to go earlier than Robbins in the draft. He was the No. 24 pick of the Tampa Bay Rays in 2020. CB East grad Chase Harlan went No. 98 to the Los Angeles Dodgers in '24.
