The Book on Tommy Hanson

Prospect Info

Tommy Hanson
Born 8/28/1986
RHP, ATL

In a year split between A seasons at Rome and Myrtle Beach, Hanson zoomed up the Braves prospect chart by posting some pretty eye-popping numbers. The power righthander, already boasting a mid-90's fastball with movement, made 24 combined starts and struck out 154 batters, jostling for the early-season strikeout lead with Tim Lincecum. He did walk 58, though, and gave up 49 runs for an ERA of 3.32. He's likely to start 2008 in AA.
