Despite being cut from his high school baseball team, Jimmy worked his way onto one of the top junior college programs in California, Chabot College. Although he did not receive much playing time, his time at Chabot prepared Jimmy to play at the next level. When Jimmy transferred to Menlo College, a small NAIA school with 650 students, their baseball program had never won a playoff game in school history. He figured it would be a good opportunity to get some playing time while simultaneously earning a marketing degree from Silicon Valley’s Business School.
After graduating from Menlo, Jimmy was not yet ready to give up on his baseball career. He signed with the Las Vegas Trainrobbers in the infamous Pecos League for a season where they lost in the championship to the Roswell Invaders. The following year, Jimmy opted to pursue a full-time job and play in a local men’s league with friends for fun. That season he pitched 95.1 innings, posting a 0.38 ERA while batting .456 with a bat he made in woodshop class in high school. This reignited Jimmy’s passion for the game.
In 2015, Jimmy signed to play with the Attnang Athletics in Austria which launched his international career. After being named Pitcher of the Year in Austria, Jimmy went on to play with the Macarther Orioles in Sydney, Australia, the Senart Templiers in France, the Newport Rams in Melbourne, Australia, the Stuttgart Reds in Germany, the Saint John Alpines in Canada, and the Waitakere Bears in New Zealand. After traveling and playing around the world for 5 years, Jimmy compiled an impressive list of awards including 3 MVP Awards, 3 Pitcher of the Year Awards, 1 Best Hitter Award, and 5 All-Star selections.
As the Director of Operations for Baseball Jobs Overseas, Jimmy is currently living in Salzburg, Austria, and is now committed to helping players continue their careers and growing the game of baseball around the world.
Jimmy is probably the best kid I have ever coached, as far as getting the most out of his skills and pure determination. Jimmy was a two year starter on the mound for me in the Cascade Conference (Lewis & Clark State, British Columbia, College of Idaho, etc.). The level he competed at was great for NAIA, as we had a good conference, and played a strong non-conference against the GSAC in California. His primary pitch is his cutter/slider, which he locates better than he does his FB. He also has a 2 sm and CH.
Jimmy led the team in wins and ERA his senior season, and I had two guys get drafted from that staff. I believe he had 4 complete games that season, and 2 of them were shutouts. I’ve never had the pleasure of coaching a better kid which more grit to figure out ways to win in my coaching career. He wants the ball every day, and he has a plan for every at bat. His character is unmatched, as he worked a full time job while going to college to pay for his tuition, and he was awarded the NAIA Champions of Character award in 2013.
He loves to play and continues to get better, and he is a great guy to have in the clubhouse. If you have any other questions, do not hesitate to contact me.
Quite simply, Jimmy was amazing. He exceeded all of our expectations on and off the field. He is an outstanding pitcher who has great variety, control and stamina. But what make him so good is that he is just such a great competitor.
He hates being beaten and he never gives up. He loves a contest and he thrives in any competitive situation.
When he wasn’t pitching he played middle infield. He had such a dominant season that he not only won our club champion player award, he also won our league MVP.
The added bonus for any club lucky enough to sign Jimmy is his personality and willingness to be involved around the club. He was great with our club members and supporters. We miss him greatly and would love him to come back one day.
If you do decide to sign Jimmy you won’t regret it for a minute. He is a great, humble guy who sets a great example for his team mates. He is also an outstanding baseball player and would be an asset to any team.
We wish him all the very best on his continued baseball journey.
My name is Kye Hislop-Dewar, I represent the Macarthur Orioles out of Sydney Australia. I’m very pleased to be asked to write this recommendation as I highly regard Jimmy Jensen as both a player and a teammate.
I have been the recruitment manager for the Orioles for 5 years now, each year we sign and host 3 imports. I follow a thorough recruitment process but still it can be difficult to understand a persons character until they’re on your roster. I find that former imports fall into one of a few categories, those that you wouldn’t have back, those you would welcome back and those that you would do all you can to have back. Jimmy definitely falls into that last category.
He is the ultimate competitor. He has a presence on the hill. He is a hard worker. He knows what it takes to get the best out of himself and doesn’t cheat himself. He buys into a team culture and brand. On the field he is a constant supporter for his teammates. Off the field he is very talented at promoting the game and club.
Jimmy has visited Sydney since playing with the Orioles and when he does he has an endless list of former teammates and coaches opening their homes to him. He is a very respectful, loyal and likeable guy.
I wish you all the best with your recruitment planning, if you sign Jimmy you have one hell of a player and clubman on your hands.
