8/21/26
5-foot-10, 170-pound frame with an athletic build and defined lower half. At the plate, Hammond produced a projectable 92 mph exit velocity with a line drive approach, a short stride, gets off backside well, and a level swing plane. Defensively, showed an average 85 mph across the infield, some effort involved, off target, to go with a 7.33 laser-timed 60.
