6. RHP Ryan Jensen 2019

Taken 27th overall in the 2019 draft, Ryan Jensen is close to making the big leagues as he got his first Spring Training invite this year. But the 25-year-old will have to take a big step this year if he wants to get called up, as he spent the entirety of 2022 with Double-A Tennessee and posted a less-then desirable 4.25 ERA in 59 innings. He has the stuff to be impactful, with one of the hardest two-seam fastballs in the Minor Leagues that floats from 94-96 mph. If he can find a way to control his command and locate his secondary pitches, Jensen could play a role as a big-league reliever.
