MAN AMONG BOYS

Marlins LF Kyle Jensen mashed three home runs this week for high Class A Jupiter, giving him 18 for the season to tie him with Brevard County's Brock Kjeldgaard for the Florida State League lead. Those 18 bombs also match Jensen's output for low Class A Greensboro last season, an impressive accomplishment given the 180-degree reversal in home-park context. The catch: Florida made Jensen a 12th-round pick out of St. Mary's in 2009, so he's already 23 years old. (That's a year and a half older than Marlins slugger Mike Stanton.) But Jensen can't control his minor league assignment—all he can do is continue mashing. He's batting .322/.397/.565 in 301 at-bats and leads the FSL in slugging and ranks fourth in the batting race. The three batters ahead of Jensen have totaled 10 home runs in 884 at-bats.

I don't know much about him other than his statistics. Does anyone with knowledge of him think this kid could develop into a good major-leaguer?

What he's doing in Jupiter right now, even as a 23 year old is impressive

[Hugg]

The fact he's still in Jupiter makes zero sense.

Brock Kjeldgaard can't possibly be a real name
