Tommy Hanson made his debut in the Bigs, and it while it was not a stellar one, it did give us a glimpse of the type of pitcher he can become. Hanson sat down the first 10 batters he faced, but then went on to give up six earned runs en route to a no-decision. Most of the damage was done on the three homers he gave up, as the BrewCrew made him pay when they got runners on base. In the end, Hanson gave up six hits, walked one, and struck out five.
Hanson was not shy on the mound, going right after hitters by throwing strikes on the first pitch to 17 of the 26 batters he faced. Of the 91 pitches he threw, 61 were for strikes, 21 of which were of the called variety. His next start should come on Friday in Baltimore. If the owner who nabbed him in your league drops him based on this start, grab him immediately.
