As a three-sport high school athlete in Seattle, Jesse Franklin — linebacker/running back in the fall, rebounder/screen-setter in winter — didn't play as much baseball as most prospects from Sun Belt states. Throw in a broken collarbone from a skiing crash that sidelined him for the truncated 2020 college season at Michigan and the pandemic that erased the minor-league season that year, and perhaps it shouldn't have been surprising when Franklin struggled last year at the outset of his first professional season.
