Prospect of the Month: Tommy Hanson
Written by Steve on July 14th, 2009
Because I sent Tommy my only card of him several months ago with an autograph request but haven’t heard back yet, I don’t have anything to show off for this post. It’s okay, because obviously Tommy has been very busy recently racking up wins for the Atlanta Braves. He is my Prospect of the Month for July 2009.
Since being called to duty by the Atlanta Braves, Tommy has earned a 4-0 record with a 2.85 ERA in 7 starts. Although he was recently sent back to the class-A Myrtle Beach Pelicans, he is expected to be called back to the Braves after the All-Star break. Things are looking good so far for Tommy. If he keeps up his current level of play, he will be an integral part of the Braves’ rotation for the foreseeable future.
I can’t wait to add Tommy Hanson’s Topps rookie card to my collection, which I expect to arrive in the form of 2009 Topps Updates & Highlights.
