Joshua Hanson is bringing pop, versatility, and real upside to Cal’s lineup
In the 2026 season, Joshua Hanson has flashed a multi-tool profile for California, hitting .159 with a .521 slugging mark while also making immediate noise with his first career home run in a 2-for-3, 3-RBI game against New Mexico State and adding extra-base production in key spots. The San Francisco native brings legit outfield range, infield/outfield flexibility, and an aggressive, high-energy style that fits a roster needing athletic juice. His prep pedigree and summer-ball production suggest more offense is there, so he looks like a worthwhile fit if you want versatility with a sneaky power ceiling.
