Lugnuts Hurler Named May's #1 Starter Monday, June 1st , 2026 Lansing Lugnuts hurler Matt Jensen was rewarded today with the Midwest League Pitcher of the Month honors. Jensen, 21, realizes that pitching isn't all about how hard you can throw, it's about accuracy and about picking yourself up even when you've had a run of bad luck. "I'd like to say I don't give them anything to hit," said the Lansing starter, "but that's not true. Every pitcher gives up a long ball now and then. Usually there's at least one mistake in each at-bat, but you've got to battle through your mistakes and build some positive momentum. The rest will fall into place." Things did fall into place for Jensen. In May he took the ball for 40.2 innings while notching 35 strikeouts, a 2.43 ERA and a 5-1 record. This year, Jensen has compiled a 7-2 mark with a 2.69 ERA in 10 starts. |
