Jared Hanson gives CMU a sturdy, academic-minded righty with Sunday-start upside
In the 2025 season, Jared Hanson emerged as Central Michigan’s Sunday starter and logged 57 2/3 innings with 32 strikeouts and only 12 walks, showing real strike-throwing polish and durability. He’s a 6-foot-3, 205-pound redshirt junior from Escanaba with a reputation for keeping the ball in the yard and competing in a low-drama, high-IQ way, backed by a 3.81 GPA and repeated Academic All-MAC recognition. The fit? A dependable innings eater who won’t wow with velocity alone, but brings command, competitiveness, and coach-friendly consistency.
