Hanson pitched four seasons with the Braves and one with the Los Angeles Angels.
A group of Hanson's former teammates was nearby when he died at Piedmont Hospital in Atlanta.
A source told WSB-TV, the ABC affiliate in Atlanta, that Hanson had trouble breathing early Sunday morning and was taken to a hospital. He suffered catastrophic organ failure and had been in a coma, according to multiple reports.
