Former MLB pitcher was only 29, really looked as if he'd be a star and then his career went sideways, starting with arm injuries. From Rotoworld:

Tommy Hanson passed away Monday after suffering catastrophic organ failure.

Hanson was just 29. Once an elite prospect, Hanson opened his Braves career 32-22 with a 3.28 ERA in three seasons before injuring his shoulder in 2011. He won 13 more games for Atlanta in 2012 despite diminished stuff, but he made just 15 more big-league appearances afterwards, those coming with the Angels in 2013. He had since pitched in the minors for the White Sox in 2014 and Giants in 2015
