David Hamilton Hits Two Home Runs in Triple-A
1 year agoBoston Red Sox shortstop prospect David Hamilton hit two home runs for the Worcester Red Sox on Wednesday. The big performance brought his home run total to 11 this year while slashing .266/.344/.520. The power appears to be developing for Hamilton, who only hit 12 home runs in 119 games last year. While the power has been a welcome surprise, Hamilton's biggest strength is his speed. In 2022, Hamilton stole 70 bases and was only caught stealing eight times in Double-A. This season, Hamilton already has 24 stolen bases in 43 games in Triple-A. It's possible that the Red Sox could become unhappy with Enmanuel Valdez's play at second base and slot Hamilton in there, but that seems unlikely at this point. For now, Hamilton remains an exciting player to watch develop in the Boston Red Sox system.
