Jensen's Power Can't Save a Struggling Royals Team | Kansas City Royals News

Carter Jensen, the 23-year-old Royals rookie catcher, is lighting up the league with a .251 average, 13 homers, and a .766 OPS—setting a franchise record with a 20-game hitting streak and crushing leadoff homers in back-to-back games. Yet, as his team sinks to a 35-53 record, he’s speaking candidly about the need for systemic change. A Kansas City native, Jensen’s passion burns brighter than his team’s record, and while he’s thriving individually, the Royals’ pitching and lineup consistency remain glaring holes. His intensity and maturity—beyond his years—signal he might be the cornerstone this franchise desperately needs, but only if others rise to match his fire.
