Alexander Edward Hassan (born April 1, 1988) is an American former professional baseball outfielder.
A native of Quincy, Massachusetts, Hassan attended Boston College High School and Duke University.
Hassan was originally drafted as a pitcher, but impressed enough in the Cape Cod League in 2009 that the Boston organization decided to switch him to outfield.
[7] In his first season, he batted a combined .328 average in 34 games with Short Season-A Lowell and Class A Greenville, gaining a promotion to Advanced-A Salem in 2010.
[2] Hassan was rated by Baseball America as having the best strike zone judgment in the Red Sox organization entering the 2012 season.
[8] Hassan got a late start to the 2013 season with Pawtucket after recovering from injuries, being limited to 63 games, but grabbed a firm hold of his spot on the 40-man roster.
He finished with a .338 average, which was the best in the organization, driving in 35 runs and scoring 30 times, while collecting a .457 OBP (also a best) and a .471 of slugging.
[19] On December 17, 2015, Hassan signed a minor league contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers organization that included an invitation to spring training.
