Here is a comprehensive summary of the article:

Carter Jensen (born July 3, 2003) is an American professional baseball catcher and designated hitter for the Kansas City Royals, making his MLB debut in 2025. Drafted by the Royals in the third round (78th overall) of the 2021 MLB draft out of Park Hill High School, Jensen climbed the minor league ranks and earned a spot in the 2025 All-Star Futures Game. Promoted to the majors on September 1, 2025, he impressed in his rookie campaign, batting .300 with three home runs and 13 RBI in over 60 at-bats, highlighted by his first two career home runs against the Mariners and a three-double game against Max Scherzer. In 2026, as Salvador Perez's backup, he had a notable incident where he was scratched from a lineup for oversleeping (apologizing afterward) and later delivered a walk-off single against the Padres on July 17. A lifelong Royals fan who attended the 2014 World Series, Jensen fulfilled a childhood dream by moving back into his childhood home after his MLB call-up.
