David Hamilton Goes Yard
8 months agoUpon his promotion on Sunday, Boston Red Sox shortstop prospect David Hamilton went 2-for-4 with a walk, two RBI and a solo home run. The speedy Hamilton was promoted and drew the start at shortstop with the news that shortstop Trevor Story (shoulder) will be sidelined indefinitely. Hamilton struggled in his first taste of the big leagues in 2023 with six hits in 37 at-bats and one homer to go along with a pair of stolen bases. Despite his struggles last season, he is a hard to catch on the basepaths with 179 stolen bases from 2021-2023. He also has some pop in his bat with double-digit homers in the past two seasons, including 17 last year in Triple-A. Opportunity will be key for Hamilton, but his speed makes him very intriguing and if he is able to add 10 or more homers, that is icing on the cake. Managers in deeper leagues should consider Hamilton as he can help with speed right away and could be a valuable asset in deeper leagues as the season goes on.
