Mechanical/Delivery Notes: Threw from a ¾ arm slot with a crossfire action to his delivery. Fastball: 71-74 mph fastball was mostly true through the zone.
Curveball: 62-65 mph breaking ball had a slurvey type shape with decent actions.

Role: Presently projects as more of a bullpen type with neither pitch presently grading as above average.
1/21/19 Body Type: 6-foot 200-pound prospect.
Swing Mechanics: Upright stance. Uses a back load to hands during his short stride for timing.
Hit: Balanced stroke with a nice combination of feel and intent. Obvious physicality through the zone with above average hand speed. Ball jumps.
Power: 81 mph exit velocity. BP was louder than exit velocity would indicate. Definitely has some power potential in there.
Offensive Projection: Middle of Lineup.
Run: DNR

Ran a 8.15 60-yard dash. At first base he uses quick footwork getting off the bag. Fields the ball nicely, out in front of his body. Glove skills are developing. Showed off 71 mph arm strength across the diamond. A right-handed hitter that starts in a taller setup. Hamilton has a middle of the lineup look to him with strength standing out in his swing. Creates impressive pop with a lower effort, efficient swing. Consistently squared the ball up to both sides of the field. Reached a top exit velocity of 78 mph. On the mound the right-hander uses a drop and drive type delivery with a chest high lift. Shows good direction before finishing slightly closed at foot contact. Long arm action works through a ¾ slot. Offered a three pitch mix. Fastball has regular cut through the zone at 69-72 mph. Breaking ball has developing depth at 63-64 mph on a 11/5 tilt. Also featured a changeup that shows regular sink at 65-68 mph.
