April 25, Augusta, NJ – Sussex County Miners manager Chris Widger selected a pair of players in the 2023 Frontier League Tryout Camp and Draft on Tuesday at Grizzlies Ballpark in Sauget, IL, picking right-handed pitcher Noah Robinson with the 11th pick overall before taking a local product, catcher Nick Grifone with the 26th pick (Round 2, Pick 10) to finish his selections.

Robinson played two years at Rowan College-Cumberland, where he appeared out of the bullpen 10 times, posting a 4.38 ERA. The 6-foot-4, 250 pound native of Vineland, NJ also pitched 8 games in the collegiate Appalachian League.
