Hankins is somewhat similar to Matt Guillory, although the Pirates think he has better stuff. He posted #s nearly identical to Guillory's in his initial season, although he was more consistent over the course of the season. He struggled after being Hickory's opening day starter, getting hit fairly hard and posting a low K rate. He throws a good change and curve, and some scouts think he can add velocity to his 88-91 mph fastball. He could be at either full-season class A affiliate next year.
