3/10/18- 6-foot-5, 225-pound left-handed pitcher. Highlighted in our recent “Picks to Click” article; Hanson stands at 6-foot-5, 225 pounds and has been off the radar for almost 18 months due to ACL reconstruction. Nearing 100 percent, he performed at the Minnesota Winter Open showcase last week. He has a large build with present strength, but also moves well with rhythm and athleticism. He has a clean arm action, producing 84-87 fastballs with varying late action. His best secondary pitch was a cutter/slider with late, sharp break. He projects to be a high-80s to low-90s arm. After a flurry of college interest; Hanson recently committed to D2 power-house Minnesota State- Mankato.


2/27/16- 6-foot-4, 230-pound left-handed hitting 2-way player. Solid 4.59 home-to-first time for player his size. Hitchy front leg trigger. Quality mid-away approach. Short to contact.  Ball explodes off bat when he gets back side through contact. Some lift to swing through contact. 92 mph exit velocity off tee. Shows good hands and feet in outfield. Longer arm action with solid carry and accuracy to target. Moves well for frame. 85 mph arm strength from outfield. Solid tempo to delivery. Good balance point and controls body well. In-line direction to catcher. Finishes with extension to plate on release. Shows arm-side life on fastball with avg./ok command of the zone at 81-84 mph. 1/7 breaking ball has tight rotation and lands consistently in zone. Shows appropriate fade on changeup with above avg. command to arm-side of plate. Strong follow for 2018 class.
