Scouting Report: Hansack is a lanky righty who throws a lot of strikes.  His arsenal includes a four-seam fastball that sits around 91-92 mph, a two-seam fastball with some movement, a good low-80s changeup, as well as a high-70s tight slider which he utilizes as his out pitch.  Good command of all of his pitches, but needs to work on consistency.  Forceful delivery.  Pitched in the Houston organization from 1999-2003, but was released in the spring of 2004.  In 2004 and 2005 he pitched in a Nicaraguan professional league, where he also had to work as a lobsterman to make ends meet.  Hansack is of Creole heritage and speaks Creole, English, and Spanish.
