Ryan Michael Hanigan (born August 16, 1980) is an American professional baseball catcher in the Philadelphia Phillies organization. Hanigan previously played for the Cincinnati Reds, Tampa Bay Rays and Boston Red Sox. After graduating from Andover High School in 1999, Hanigan attended Rollins College, where he signed as an undrafted free agent with the Cincinnati Reds. He then spent the 2002 to 2006 seasons with Reds minor league baseball teams before making his MLB debut on September 9, 2007 as a pinch hitter. He recorded his first major league hit in that at-bat. He also played for the Tampa Bay Rays. He has caught two no hitters, both thrown by Homer Bailey.
Hanigan was born on August 16, 1980, in Washington, D.C., to Mike and Helen Hanigan. He has an older sister named Hayley. He played American Legion Baseball for American Legion Post 8 in Andover. At Andover High School, Hanigan was a three-year varsity starter, and was named an Eagle-Tribune and Eastern Massachusetts All-Star during his senior season, in which he hit .397. From 1997 to 1998, the Andover team had a 38–9 record. He was teammates with future professional golfer Rob Oppenheim, and graduated from the school in 1999.
After graduating from high school, Hanigan had a difficult time finding a college that would let him play baseball. He attended Rollins College in Winter Park, Florida, where he played third base or left field because of an upperclassman at the catcher position. During the summer in 2001, Hanigan played in the New England Collegiate Baseball League, where he hit .282 in 38 games. In his junior year, he hit .384 with 48 RBIs over 57 games for Rollins, as the team finished 41–16 and clinched a berth to the NCAA Division II Baseball Championship. Hanigan would have served as team captain his senior year; when he left Rollins, Hanigan's .359 career batting average was seventh best in school history.
