2011 DRAFT PROFILE: - 2B - Matt Jensen

Matt Jensen –


11-16-9 from http://www.collegebaseballblog.com/ : - named the 65th top college player for the 2010 upcoming season


1-7-10: invited to join Team USA in July 10 - Matt Jensen-2B-Cal Poly - This is the second straight year Jensen has been invited to the Team USA Trials. After accepting the invitation a year ago, Jensen fractured his collarbone in a Cal Poly game in early May and was unable to participate in the trials. Jensen (5-10, 190, Clovis, CA) sported a .375 batting average with 15 doubles, nine home runs and 53 RBI before fracturing his clavicle in May 2009. He suffered the injury when he was involved in a collision with a San Francisco baserunner. Jensen is the first Mustang baseball player to be invited to the National Team Trials. Cal Poly head coach Larry Lee on Jensen: “Matt is one of the better ball players in the country.” “He should be able to follow up a tremendous freshman year with another quality season and is fully recovered from his broken collarbone. “He’s really developed as a defensive second baseman to add to his already impressive credentials from an offensive standpoint,” Lee added. “Having the opportunity to represent the United States in this endeavor is a great honor and Matt is as good as it gets on and off the field. He will represent Cal Poly at the highest level this summer.”


7-25: - http://www.fanhouse.com/ : - Fanhouse Top 70 Prospects - 27. Matt Jensen, INF, Cal Poly Matt Jensen:


7-25-10 from: - http://www.macksmets.blogspot.com/ : - Matt Jensen- Cal Poly (2B)- Jensen was a much heralded 2B out of Clovis, CA who has had two significant injuries each of his first two seasons. His true freshman year he batted .375 with nine (9) bombs in only 160 AB's before breaking a collarbone. Matt is known as a hit first (with power) average defender with average speed. He was a finalist to join Team USA and entered 2010 with a lot of fanfare. Unfortunately he started slowly and ended at .270 with a nearly 1:1 BB/SO ratio and this season ended in a wrist injury. Therefore given my comments above about consistencey, I'm not sure what scouts will end up doing with him draft wise. If he retuns to his 2009 level he will go high, if not it is round 10-15.
