"In a season that started with infield candidates ranging from Alex Bregman, Trevor Story, Kristian Campbell, Triston Casas, Rafael Devers, and Marcelo Mayer, David Hamilton managed to make it into 91 games. That's way too many! His large presence in box scores is the byproduct of a tumultuous year in the infield. David Hamilton is fast, and actually plays good defense when used at second base. If he's the last guy on your roster, he's not a bad guy to have around."
"Everything else. His bat is poor to at times horrific, his baserunning isn't anywhere near as good as it should be for his speed, and if he's playing on the left side side of the infield, you're now getting subpar performance from both his bat and his glove. Unfortunately, all of these things were on full display for a few different swaths of the season."
"Because baseball is baseball, anybody can have a wonderful, unexpected moment on any given night. It's part of what makes the sport so great! This happened for David Hamilton back on April 16th when he hit this solo home run against the Rays that turned out to be the only run of the game in a 1-0 win. Unfortunately, there's also another game that stands out in my mind."
Season began with multiple infield candidates including Alex Bregman, Trevor Story, Kristian Campbell, Triston Casas, Rafael Devers, and Marcelo Mayer. David Hamilton appeared in 91 games amid an unsettled infield. Hamilton provides genuine speed and plays quality defense at second base. His bat was poor at times horrific and his baserunning underperformed given his speed. Hamilton struggles when deployed on the left side, yielding subpar offense and defense. He produced a solo home run on April 16 that decided a 1-0 win, but also failed on a June 24 bunt attempt. Roster status will hinge on offseason infield decisions.
