Hassan, a right-handed hitting outfielder/first baseman, batted .217 with Pawtucket this season.  He posted a .321 average last season with the PawSox.

Hassan was drafted by the Red Sox in the 20th round of the 2009 MLB Draft.  He played college baseball at Duke after starring at BC High School as both a hitter and a pitcher.

Ryan Lavarnway was placed on the Disabled List by the Red Sox, and needing a right-handed bat, the team opted to bring up Hassan.
