Overview
Hamilton is a prep righty who showed a 96 mph fastball in a Perfect Game showcase, although he did so in a short outing. He normally sits in the upper-80s or low-90s, and misses bats with good movement. He adds a low-spin breaking ball and a change that needs work. Baseball America ranked him 299th in the draft class. At 19 and four months on draft day, he was old for the class. Hamilton has a commitment to Vanderbilt and probably won’t be easy to sign.
