2022 MLB Draft: Peter Hansen, 97th Overall, St. Louis Cardinals

Pete Hansen, who starred for NorCal at the 2018 New Balance Baseball Future Stars Series 2019 class National Tournament, has been selected by the St. Louis Cardinals with the 97th overall pick of the 2022 MLB Draft.

Hansen has since gone on to be one of the best pitchers in college baseball at The University of Texas, where he formed a battery every fifth day with catcher Silas Ardoin, another FSS alum.

PICK ANALYSIS BY JEREMY BOOTH, CEO AND PRESIDENT OF THE NEW BALANCE BASEBALL FUTURE STARS SERIES: Starter. Fourth starter in a rotation, probably the easiest one to scout that we’ve got. Sometimes you’ll get 87-88, sometimes you’ll get 93-94. Most of the time, it’s 90-91. But you’ve got feel, you’ve got breaking ball, you’ve got deception, you’ve got pitchability. There’s a bunch of guys that pitched for a while in the big leagues who looked just like him, and he’s a starter, no doubt.”
