    Hansen has been a reliable late-inning option for the Sooners this season as he attacks hitters with a little more varied assortment than most power relievers. He mixes a 93-95 mph fastball and a solid-average curveball and changeup. At his best Hansen will touch a 96, but that velocity usually tails off, especially when he's working back-to-back days, which feeds scouts concerns about his 6-foot frame. His spin rate impresses teams as well.
