| Summary: An aggressive, athletic two-way talent, Jorgensen stands out first for his arm strength and overall explosiveness. On the mound, the right-hander shows a compact, fast arm from a near-over-the-top slot, driving a fastball into the mid-90s with carry and late life. The curveball flashes as a real weapon when he stays on top of it, showing sharp, upper-70s depth and the ability to miss bats. Command remains the separator — strikes can come and go — but the ingredients for a starter profile are present, backed by athleticism and the ability to repeat more consistently with refinement. Offensively and defensively, the same tools show up. The right-handed bat is aggressive with a gap-to-gap approach, relying on strength and bat speed more than pure lift for damage. There’s real run in the legs and a plus arm that plays easily on the left side of the infield, where he shows the range and actions to stick at shortstop. The overall profile is loud and still coming together, with impact potential driven by arm strength, athleticism, and a willingness to play fast. If the strike-throwing and offensive approach continue to mature, he offers upside on both sides of the ball with multiple avenues to value. | |||||||||||
