Prep Baseball All-American Game: Explosive, high-level two-way tools for the future Demon Deacon and 2023 All-American Game MVP. Physical 6-foot-1 frame with a certified hand cannon on the mound, Hammond showcases huge arm speed out of a tight arm circle. Utilizing a low, three-quarters slot while getting deep into his lower half with big extension, Hammond is able to produce 5ft release heights or under on the entire pitch mix creating tough angles. Fastball sits a heavy 92-95 while getting consistent hard arm-side run and showing an innate ability to spin (Avg. 2481). Slider can be a plus pitch sooner than later. 82-85 with ability to add and subtract sharp sweep at will, Hammond also shows supreme command and plus spin that allow the pitch to play up even more. Creates ugly swing-and-miss in any count. Changeup is firm in the mid-80s with present feel and ability to get great arm-side fade that can be devastating from the arm slot. With the stick, Hammonds quiet approach and above-average bat speed allow the barrel to explode through the zone for big pop that continues to play well in-game and in BP. Can produce triple digit exit velocities at will. Hammond likely has the highest upside on the mound, but the bat plays and will play as long as he continues to hit.
