Things didn’t go according to plan in 2015 for the budding catcher drafted in the 16th-round of the 2013 draft. Dan Jansen is said to have plus power, with excellent bat speed, and a mature approach at the plate; however, his work with pitchers, receiving skills, and containing base runners have really turned him into a legitimate prospect.
After seeing his season cut short by a knee injury he sustained as a member of the Bluefield Blue Jays, Jansen was hoping for a chance to play a full season and stay healthy; unfortunately, that didn’t happen as he found himself on the Disabled List between May 30th and August 10th after breaking some bones in his hand.
