Maury Hansen
Relief Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players
Pitching He can get groundballs when he needs them in a jam. He's a good late inning man, which is when being a pitcher really counts. If you're going in to face Hansen, better be wearing plenty of protection. He's wild. Never a hard thrower, Hansen now has games when he can't hit 85 MPH with his fastball. The running movement on his pitches makes life tougher on lefties than righties.
Defense & Hitting He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. Teams run on him more than they do most lefthanders. Hansen is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Hansen has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Hansen as a pinch-runner on occasion.
2025 Outlook Hansen isn't cutting the mustard in the low minors. It's time for Maury to investigate other career options, like coaching highschool ball. But if you ask me, I'll pass on Hansen.
