2024 Fantasy Outlook
Hancock was the sixth pick of the 2020 MLB Draft, and the product of Georgia hasn't shown much consistency in his time as a professional. He was able to reach the majors in 2023, however, and he appeared to have a spot in the Seattle rotation for the remainder of the season until he was diagnosed with a Grade 1-plus shoulder strain in August after making three starts with Seattle. The 24-year-old doesn't have an overpowering fastball, but he commands it well enough to get ahead in counts, and his slider has a chance to be an out-pitch at the highest level. Hancock is not a future ace and he doesn't seem likely to be a part of the Seattle rotation to open the year, but he's a name that's worth keeping an eye on if he does get the chance or he changes organization.

Dispatched to Triple-A
The Mariners optioned Hancock to Triple-A Tacoma on Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Bryan Woo (elbow) is ready to return from the 15-day injured list and will reclaim a spot in Seattle's rotation this weekend, leaving no room for Hancock, who posted a 5.24 ERA and 23:11 K:BB over 34.1 innings across seven starts. He'll join Tacoma's rotation and will wait for another opportunity with the big club.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Name dropped in Ohtani rumors
Emerson could be a prospect on the move if Seattle emerges as a suitor for Shohei Ohtani at the deadline, writes Jim Bowden of The Athletic.
ANALYSIS
Hancock was the sixth overall selection in the 2020 Draft and currently resides in Double-A. The 6-foot-4, 24-year-old owns a 4.19 ERA across 41 starts with the affiliate over the past two seasons but carries pedigree and upside that could intrigue the Angels.
Hancock was the sixth overall selection in the 2020 Draft and currently resides in Double-A. The 6-foot-4, 24-year-old owns a 4.19 ERA across 41 starts with the affiliate over the past two seasons but carries pedigree and upside that could intrigue the Angels.
2021 Fantasy Outlook
After his sophomore season, Hancock was one of the top candidates to go first overall in the 2020 draft. However, he wasn't quite the same after a lat injury in late 2019, allowing Max Meyer and Asa Lacy to pass him as the top pitchers on most boards. He had a 1.99 ERA and 0.84 WHIP in 90.1 innings as a sophomore and a 3.75 ERA and 1.04 WHIP in 24 innings as a junior. The 6-foot-4, 213-pound righty's changeup and command/control were among the best in the class. His mid-90s fastball is hittable in the zone because it can be pretty straight, somewhat reminiscent of Pirates righty Mitch Keller. Spotting that pitch in all four quadrants will be paramount to him reaching his ceiling as a No. 2 starter. An above-average slider and average curveball round out his four-pitch mix. He dealt with minor arm tenderness and was limited to a few live batting practice sessions at the alternate site and fall instructs.
