School: Barlow HS, Gresham, Ore. Committed: Oregon St. Age At Draft: 18.8
Mick Abel was a first-round pick in 2020. Noble Meyer went in the first round in 2023. Hamilton is another lanky righthander from Oregon with premium talent and a chance to follow in those footsteps. He’s a high upside pitcher with loose, whippy arm speed and immense physical projection remaining in his 6-foot-3 frame. Hamilton has already reached 95 mph, with the look of a pitcher who should one day be able to throw in the upper 90s. Hamilton’s fastball has good life to get swing-and-miss when he’s in the zone. While the heater is his best pitch, Hamilton flashes a solid slider that has good depth and is more advanced than his changeup. -
