View Draft Report
Listed at 6-foot-4, 190 pounds, Hansen is a projectable lefthander with a fastball that gets up to 94 mph at its best, with a plus arm action that's loose and easy. He more consistently sits in the 89-92 mph range with two average offspeed offerings in a changeup and curveball. He occasionally flashes a harder breaking ball with a slider look, but his big, sharp curveball is his main secondary offering. Neither of his secondary offerings are out-pitches just yet, but with his athleticism and an impressive arm action, scouts project both of those pitches as above-average down the line, with a fastball that's a future plus pitch. This season, Hansen has pitched on Wednesdays and hasn't missed a start, so teams have had scouting heat in to see him from his first start of the year through the end of the season. Potentially a top two round arm, signability will be a question mark with Hansen, who is seen as a hard sign out of his Vanderbilt commitment. Enough high-end decision makers have been in to see him this spring that scouts believe some team will like him enough to meet his big asking price. He has all the elements that teams like to see out of a prep lefthander.
