Craig Robert Hansen (born November 15, 1983 in Glen Cove, New York) is a relief pitcher in the Boston Red Sox organization. A dominant closer out of St. John's University, Hansen was drafted in 2005 and quickly made his major league debut, but has since spent most of his career at the Triple-A level Pawtucket Red Sox. At 6-foot-5, Hansen reportedly can reach 97 to 98 miles per hour and mixes in a hard slider.
