Hamilton ran a 6.88 60. His speed and quickness also translated into the INF. He’s a very rangy defender with a quick release on the ball. Big time arm on the dirt and consistently threw 82mph with carry. In the box, Christian is an athletic mover with some bat speed. In 2 games, he had two singles, a 2B down the LF line and a stand-up 3B into LCF. Big potential to be an offensive and defensive contributor at the next level.

Lean frame with room to add strength. Ran a 7.00 60. Defensively offers versatility between infield and corner OF with carry on throws. Offensively shows plus bat speed with lift in swing and pull-side power projection. Found barrels in game play, including a pull-side HR. Approach can tighten with more line-drive contact, but tools to develop are present.
