Alex Robles, a Tucson High grad who often played against Gonzalez and Jackson, was drafted in the 30th round by the Minnesota Twins. Robles completed his remarkable career at Austin Peay by hitting a grand slam in his last at-bat. He was a two-time All-Ohio Valley Conference selection who hit a team-high .347 with 10 homers this year. He also won six games as a starting pitcher.
