Alex Jensen landed his first Minor League Baseball play-by-play job just four years ago. Since then, he’s broadcasted four seasons with the Class-A Stockton Ports and more than 60 games for their parent club, the Oakland A’s.
Now, Jensen is moving up to Double-A baseball with the Springfield Cardinals.
“Joining such a renowned Minor League Baseball organization and collaborating with the Cardinals’ exceptional front office is a dream come true,” Jensen states.
Jensen has been an STAA member since 2019. His broadcasting career began in 2008 as the voice of women’s basketball at his alma mater, St. Mary’s (CA). He Gaels’ men’s games in 2013, and split sideline reporting duties for University of California football last season.
Jensen is just the fourth-ever “Voice of the Cardinals.” He follows in the footsteps of Mike Lindskog (currently with the Rancho Cucamonga Quakes), Jeff Levering (Milwaukee Brewers), and Andrew Buchbinder, who is now in a front office role with the team.
“I can’t wait to immerse myself in Springfield’s vibrant community, become part of Cardinals Nation, and talk some baseball,” Jensen enthuses.
