Hanson does not have an exciting profile, largely because he will not be able stick as a SS. He does not have the arm or instincts to play there, and he is much better off playing a position with less athleticism required, such as 2B. He should be fine there, and could play average to solid-average defense there, simply because he has more time to set his feet and the throws are not as long. At the plate, Hanson shows ability to barrel the ball and spray across the diamond. He is fairly consistent from both sides of the plate, and will make enough contact to hit for a decent batting average. He does not have a great eye at the plate and the discipline is not terrific. This likely hinders his ability to get on base, but the barrel skills make up for it some. Overall, Hanson is a solid second division prospect who should provide some offensive value at 2B. He can play SS in a pinch if necessary, but will not be able to stick there long term.
