John Joseph Hannahan IV (born March 4, 1980) is an American former professional baseball utility player. He played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Detroit Tigers, Oakland Athletics, Seattle Mariners, Cleveland Indians, and Cincinnati Reds and in the KBO League for the LG Twins.
Hannahan attended Cretin-Derham Hall High School in Saint Paul, Minnesota. He played football as a defensive back and earned All-Conference honors in basketball. He was the Gatorade Player of the Year for baseball in Minnesota in 1998. He attended the University of Minnesota, where he played college baseball for the Minnesota Golden Gophers. As a freshman, he hit .360 with 28 runs, nine doubles, four home runs and 30 RBIs in 1999. That summer, Hannahan played for the Mankato Mashers of the Northwoods League, a collegiate summer league.
In 2000, Hannahan batted .327 with 46 runs, 18 doubles, four triples, eight home runs, 43 RBIs and nine stolen bases during his sophomore season. He was named Big Ten Player of the Year, First-Team All-Big Ten, and a third-time All-American by Collegiate Baseball during his junior season after hitting .372 with 65 runs, 20 doubles, four triples, 15 home runs, 63 RBIs and 16 stolen bases. He led the Big Ten in runs, home runs and RBIs.
The Detroit Tigers selected Hannahan in the third round of the 2001 Major League Baseball draft. Hannahan made his major league debut on May 26, 2006, playing first base. He went 0-for-9 with the Tigers in 2006. He began the 2007 season with the Triple-A Toledo Mud Hens. He hit .295 with 13 home runs. He finished second in the International League with 76 walks.
On August 13, 2007, he was traded to the Oakland Athletics for outfielder Jason Perry. The Athletics added Hannahan to their roster, filling in at third base as Eric Chavez went on the disabled list. On August 15, Hannahan got his first major league hit, a double, off Mark Buehrle of the Chicago White Sox. On August 20, against the Toronto Blue Jays, Hannahan hit his first career home run. Hannahan started 40 of the Athletics' final 43 games at third base.
In 2008, Hannahan was on the major league roster the entire season, serving as the primary third baseman while Eric Chavez was on the disabled list most of the year. Following the 2009 spring training camp, he was sent to the Sacramento River Cats.
Hannahan was traded to the Seattle Mariners for pitcher Justin Souza on July 11, 2009.
With the Mariners holding an 11–5 lead over the Kansas City Royals on August 6, Seattle manager Don Wakamatsu substituted Hannahan for shortstop Jack Wilson, who was experiencing minor discomfort in his right triceps area. This marked the first time Hannahan played shortstop at the major league level.
