However, Jensen has been able to block out the noise and bounce back from his blunder. After his home run on Tuesday, the catcher is now batting .259 with three home runs and six RBIs through his first 10 games of 2026.
Still ranked as the No. 1 prospect in Kansas City's organization, and the 15th-best in all of baseball, via MLB Pipeline, the Royals have high hopes for Jensen's long-term potential. He showed off a taste of what he can do in 2025, hitting .300 with three home runs and 13 RBIs over his first 20 major league games.
Jensen has now found his power stroke and will look to keep his momentum moving forward. He'll also be triple checking his alarm clocks.
