MESA, Ariz. – Jesse Hahn is just one of a group of pitchers competing to make the A’s rotation this spring.

It’s a stark contrast to this time last year, when he came in as Oakland’s No. 3 or No. 4 starter, depending on who was doing the evaluating.

But after a year lost to a shoulder strain and dashed expectations, Hahn is on the outside looking in.

Sort of.

Jesse Hahn said part of 2016 trouble w/ #Athletics was being willing to give up movement on fastball for extra velocity.
