Why he might not: The bad part about a swing geared for contact is that it doesn’t allow you to hit for much power, and Crawford is unlikely to reach more than a couple of handfuls of homers in 2026.

Why he can help: Jensen has seen his stock rise every year, and he punctuated a strong 2025 campaign in the minors by slashing .300/.391/.550 in a 20-game sample with the Royals to end the year. A left-handed hitter, Jensen shows a swing that suggests he can hit for both average and power at the highest level, and he’s a patient hitter who won’t beat himself by swinging at pitches outside of the strike zone. While he won’t catch a ton in 2026 with Salvador Perez locked into that role, he appears likely to be the designated hitter against righties to begin the year with a chance to produce some solid run-production stats.
