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
[/quote]
Keith Law also had Jensen going #30 overall to the Yankees in
his mock draft. This doesn't sound like all that big of a reach
to me, although time will obviously tell. You can't teach
velocity.

Most lists had him in the 90-100 range.
Whether he was a little reach or a huge reach, this FO is
obviously very bad at assessing college pitchers. Wish they'd
bark up a different tree.

FWIW (not much to some, clearly):

McLeod said Cubs are looking forward to getting Jensen signed
and in their Pitch Lab. Said pitching coord. Brendan Sagara was
in draft room and watched a lot of tape, Jensen was one of the
ones he was most excited about. Here's what's happening in that
lab.

J.McLeod admits draft pick Ryan Jensen is the kind of player the
team may not have taken in the past.Not prototypical at just 6
ft ft though he throws upper 90's. @keithlaw had him ranked 32
so not a reach according to him.They liked what he was able to
do 'wire to wire' this yr

McLeod's basing the idea that Jensen's not a reach on Keith
Law's ranking?
Has Law been told that Vogelbach's moved out of rookie ball and
is on pace for 39 homers with the Mariners?

Keith Law doesn't consider it a reach. I would assume McLeod
doesn't consider it a reach based off of the Cubs rankings.

After reading the 2018 draft thread to trust McLeod.
