• Royals Notes: Jensen, Ragans, Altavilla, Avila, Mears
Royals catcher Carter Jensen was shifted to the leadoff spot on Saturday with the club searching for offensive production. The young backstop came through with an RBI single and a two-run homer. Kansas City scored six runs in the contest after having put up a total of five runs in four games this week. “I […]...2026

• These 5 Hitters Are Really Good At Hitting - April 8, 2026
Carter Jensen, C, Kansas City Royals Jensen homered yet again, going 1-3 with a BB and K. His hit was the only one the Royals put together on the day, so it came at an opportune time. I think Jensen has put the "sleeping thru his alarm" debacle to bed. He's 5-12 with two homers in the last three games. Even though he's striking out at 37% (will come down), he's hitting the ball hard 53% of the tim...2026

Corbin Carroll- OF- ARI- Carroll is one of the hamate bone brigade who may be ready for Opening Day. He has begun swinging a bat with both hands.

Shota Imanaga (SP - CHC) - Last year I was definitely out on Imanaga, as the low swinging strike rate and extremely low GB rate made me think some serious regression was coming. There was definitely some of that, and he has dropped all the way down to SP50 on average so far this spring as expectations have lowered somewhat. He did bring that swinging strike rate up significantly last season (9.7% ...2026

Paul Skenes, SP, Pittsburgh Pirates Skenes' talent is not something up for debate. He's a ground ball getter, who punches out tons of guys, and limits contact. It's only been two seasons, but it's only a moderate hyperbole to say he's on pace to be the greatest pitcher of all time. The question is where should he be going in drafts? At his 10 ADP, it's just tough for a pitcher to sneak into the mi...2026

Jim Rassol-Imagn Images Could the Royals be eyeing some Marlins outfielders? The Royals have lost six in a row, all at home, and their offensive woes have continued to be front and center.

"The Royals are shopping for corner outfield help and realize they’ll probably have to trade one of their top catching prospects — Blake Mitchell, Carter Jensen or Ramon Ramirez — to make it happen."

2024
"Carter Jensen is one of the top-hitting prospects in the organization with Baseball America ranking him #3 in the organization and MLB Pipeline ranking him #5."

2023
"” It may seem curious for the Royals to draft a catcher considering they have eight-time All-Star Salvador Perez, promising young hitter MJ Melendez, and a promising catching prospect in Carter Jensen."
