Smooth-gloved freshman depth piece with upside for Texas Tech
In the 2026 season, Tommy Hanger gave Texas Tech a tidy, low-noise infield presence: six appearances, two assists, no errors, and a .200/.400 line in limited action, including a hit and two RBIs in the regular-season finale at Cincinnati. The Toronto freshman stands out more for polish than flash—he’s a left/right infielder with Canadian national-team pedigree and a Gold Glove nod, which hints at dependable hands and defensive instincts. If you want a steady, developmental glove who can grow into more at-bats, he’s a sensible fit; if you need instant middle-of-the-order punch, this isn’t that profile.
