Keith Law had Jensen at #35, so not far off.
35. Ryan Jensen, RHP, Fresno State -- A 6-foot right-hander,
Jensen has one of the biggest fastballs in the class, regularly
working at 97-99, with a lightning-quick arm, albeit with a long
arm action and lack of a plus second pitch

Allen would eat up all the Cubs draft pool, so I doubt it.
For Jensen, I like the fastball velocity and it is supposed to
have good movement. The lack of a secondary pitch for a short
righty is concerning.

Passan reporting Allen’s demands where too high for the Cubs.

Feh, another reach for a mediocre college arm whose upside is
middle relief. This organization's drafting really needs a
complete overhaul where pitching is concerned.

People thought Hoerner was a reach last year. I’m concerned, but
dude throws hard and the breaking ball might be better than what
it is reported as.

When was the last time the Cubs hit with one of these patented
overdraft college arms? Their track record speaks for itself,
and Jensen fits it perfectly.

I wonder if the Cubs are just tired of having to buy their
closers or trade prospects for them and view him strictly as an
RP prospect. I wouldn’t mind it if they developed him that way.
Actually if he’s really flashing that kind of consistent
velocity, he might even wind up being a guy that can help us
this season.
