Cole Hansen has been a steady Sunday anchor for Elon
In the 2026 season, the graduate right-hander has given Elon dependable innings and flashes of swing-and-miss stuff, including a six-strikeout, 5.1-inning win over Queens and a six-inning, two-run start against Fairfield. He’s a veteran arm with a track record of durability — 33 career starts and 192 collegiate innings before joining Elon — which makes him valuable when a staff needs stability more than fireworks. The downside: his season ERA has been hit-or-miss, so he profiles best as a competitive, experienced mid-rotation fit rather than a pure ace.
