Since transferring to Texas, Aiden Robbins has been one of the best outfielders in college baseball. The Pennsylvania native has been on fire at the plate and has been a key piece of one of the best offenses in the country. That has continued through tournament play, as Robbins has been a an RBI machine.
Through two games, the former Seton Hall star, has driven in seven runs and hit two home runs. As the Longhorns outscored Tarleton State and Holy Cross 35-3, Robbins was at the center of their success and offensive explosion. It has been a repeat of what the Pennsylvania native did during the regular season.
The Holy Ghost High alum finished his first season on the Forty Acres with 60 RBI and a .346 batting average in 54 games. He also showed some power with 33 extra-base hits, including 22 home runs. In his first season in the SEC, Robbins set new career-highs across the board and became an irreplaceable piece of the lineup.
Due to his stellar play, Robbins has seen his draft stock skyrocket. For teams looking for a play that can get on base and make a pitcher pay for a mistake Robbins should be a popular target in the early rounds of the MLB Draft in a few months.
As the Longhorns look to continue their playoff run, Robbins will be a player relied on heavily. He has shown that he can change a game with one swing and has thrived out of the leadoff role. While his sample size is only two games, Robbins is making sure his run in Austin is one to remember.
