School: Houston Drafted/Committed: Twins ’19 (17)
Age At Draft: 24.0

Jean turns 24 in August making him the second-oldest player in the class, and he’s certainly traveled an extensive road. The 6-foot-2, 190-pound lefthander out of Canada pitched parts of five college seasons—three at Alabama, then two more at Houston—along with three separate summer stints with Falmouth in the Cape Cod League sandwiched around Tommy John surgery that knocked him out for the 2023 college season. He has pitched as both a starter and reliever and settled into a multi-inning relief role as a grad student for Houston in 2025, where he earned second team All-America honors after pitching to a 2.55 ERA over 67 innings along with a 41.4% strikeout rate that ranked second among qualified pitchers. Jean has a deep array of pitch shapes and added power in 2025. His 90-94 mph four-seamer can touch 96, and he’ll mix in two-seam and cutter variants. All three of his secondaries—a mid-80s slider, upper-70s curveball and a mid-80s changeup used mostly against righties—achieved swinging strike rates of around 20% or better. Jean’s quite an appealing money-saving senior sign, who threw enough strikes in 2025 with a deep bag of tricks to earn a chance to start in pro ball with a fallback as a multi-inning relief role.
