With the 92nd overall pick in the 2026 MLB Draft, the Mets selected outfielder Aiden Robbins out of the University of Texas. Robbins was ranked the No. 29 Draft prospect by MLB Pipeline.
Robbins has done nothing but produce during his time in college. As a freshman at Seton Hall, he posted an .880 OPS in 43 games. Robbins went off as a sophomore, posting a .422/.537/.652 slash line with six home runs. He transferred to Texas for his junior year and crushed SEC pitching to the tune of 24 home runs and a 1.122 OPS. He essentially did the same during his time in the Cape Cod League.
Robbins is your classic does-everything-well player while not necessarily excelling in any one area. That’s supported by his grades on the 20-80 scouting scale, according to MLB Pipeline, which gives him 50-grade or better for hitting (55), power (55), running (50), arm (50) and fielding (50). It’s the type of skillset that teams dream of -- he contributes in many ways on a baseball field and one of those tools becoming elite could make him a dynamic producer.
If there’s one area to monitor in pro ball, it’s Robbins’ strikeout rate, which jumped from 13% as a sophomore to 23% as a junior with Texas. That probably goes hand in hand with his home run output jumping from six as a sophomore to 24 as a junior. If Robbins manages to maintain his power and trim the strikeout rate, he could be a serious force at the dish.
