Twins are excited about power lefty Robinson

MINNEAPOLIS -- After a strong junior season as a hard-throwing left-handed reliever for the University of Maryland, Alex Robinson waited patiently for his name to be called on Day 2 of the MLB Draft on Tuesday.

Robinson's parents, Peter and Vicki, made the drive down to Maryland from New York with his brother, Nicholas, to take in the life-changing occasion with Robinson, which came in the fifth round, when he was taken by the Twins with the 140th overall pick.

The Draft concludes on Wednesday, with exclusive coverage of Rounds 11-40 beginning on MLB.com at 11 a.
