The Tampa Bay Rays selected Hahn in the sixth round of the 2010 Major League Baseball draft.[5] He signed with the Rays, for a $525,000 signing bonus.[6] He did not make his professional debut until 2012 due to his recovery from Tommy John surgery.[7][8] He was added to the Rays 40-man roster on November 20, 2013.[9]

San Diego Padres

On January 22, 2014, the Rays traded Hahn and Alex Torres to the San Diego Padres in exchange for Logan Forsythe, Brad Boxberger, Matt Lollis, Matt Andriese, and Maxx Tissenbaum.[10] Hahn was brought up from the Double-A San Antonio Missions, and made his major league debut with the Padres on June 3, 2014.[11][12] He was optioned back to San Antonio the next day.[13] He was called back up and ended the season with a 7-4 record with a 3.07 ERA in 12 starts.

Oakland Athletics

On January 29, 2018, the Athletics traded Hahn and Heath Fillmyer to the Kansas City Royals for Brandon Moss and Ryan Buchter.[16] After experiencing some discomfort in his UCL during the beginning of spring training, the Royals placed Hahn on the 60 day disabled list to begin the season. He ended up missing the entire 2018 season. The following season, Hahn spent the majority of the season rehabbing and in the minors, appearing in only 6 games for Kansas City. Hahn was non-tendered on December 2, 2019, and became a free agent.[17] Hahn re-signed with the Royals on a one-year contract on December 13, 2019.[18]
