RHP Kyle Hansen
4-19 from: - http://thecollegebaseballblog.com/2010/04/19/big-east-baseball-honors - Red Storm freshman Kyle Hansen (2012) earned BIG EAST Baseball Pitcher of the Week recognition after leading St. John’s to a series-clinching victory in Game 3 over Cincinnati. Hansen tallied a career-high 12 strikeouts in 7.1 innings of work in a 7-1 win at Cincinnati on April 18. The righthander allowed four hits on the day, all of which were singles and three of which were hit during the first inning. Hansen kept batters hitless after the first through the eighth inning. He improved to 4-1 on the season. This is Hansen’s first Pitcher of the Week honor and the first for a St. John’s pitcher since May 18, 2008. He is also the first freshman to earn the recognition since March 10, 2008.
6-4-10 from: - http://www.sportingnews.com/blog/MLB_Draft - Hansen is younger brother of former No. 1 pick Craig Hansen, whom the Red Sox selected with the 26th pick overall in 2005. Following in his brother's footsteps at St. John's, the 6-7 195-pounder looks like a string bean, but little about his repertoire is thin. Like his brother Craig, Hansen runs his fastball into the low to mid-90s, with excellent sink. He generates tremendous leverage with his height and length, pitching on a good downward plane. His breaking ball is fringe above-average, sort of a slurvy pitch in the 76-79 mph range which bodes for a freshman, as improvement is clearly and easily attainable for him.

7-5-11: - http://mlbdraftguide.com/1/2011/07/05/kyle-hansen-2012-draft-profile - Kyle Hansen, brother of 2005 first rounder Craig Hansen, is a tall, thin righthander from St. John’s. He shows flashes of dominance that could land him near the top of draft boards. Hansen throws his fastball from 89-92 and could add velocity as he fills out. His fastball has good sink. He throws a slider, at 79-80, that shows plus potential. Hansen also throws a change, at 81-82, and an occasional cutter. Hansen uses a 3/4 arm slot and sometimes has trouble with his command
