Unfortunately for Royals rookie catcher Carter Jensen, he overslept on a day when just four Major League Baseball games were scheduled.
With little else happening, Jensen’s late arrival at Kauffman Stadium on April 2 made headlines across the country, including, oddly enough, on TMZ.
The misfortunate event didn’t get Jensen down. Since that day, he has been one of the Royals’ best hitters. He’s batting .276 with three home runs, five runs scored and seven RBIs.
And it seems that Jensen can laugh about oversleeping, because he’s even earned a new nickname from teammate Jac Caglianone.
We saw that when Caglianone commented on an Instagram post from Jensen, the former Park Hill High School star. And Jensen got a laugh out of it.
Fans gave the nickname a thumbs-up.
“Calling Carter Jensen ‘The Big Snooze’ is fantastic. Great job here from Cags,” wrote Céspedes Family BBQ on X.
“This needs to stick,” one fan wrote.
Another shared this: “I love it.”
