2024 Fantasy Outlook
Hamilton graduated to Triple-A Worcester to start 2023 then got his first taste of MLB, as the Red Sox dealt with injuries and poor production from their middle infield. The speedy Hamilton, who swiped 57 bases for the WooSox in 2023, had two steals and batted .121 in 15 games for Boston. The Red Sox entered the offseason with a glaring need at second base, which put Hamilton's name in the mix, but the acquisition of Vaughn Grissom from Atlanta in the Chris Sale trade should put an end to the notion of Hamilton breaking camp with a full-time gig. Someone with Hamilton's profile - his plus-plus speed is his best asset - needs to get on base with regularity. He draws walks at a decent clip but there's a lot of swing-and-miss, too. All signs point to Hamilton opening the year at Triple-A and on the Mass Pike shuttle between Worcester and Boston. Read Past Outlooks

Steals base in loss
Hamilton started at shortstop and went 2-for-4 with a stolen base in Saturday's 6-1 loss to the White Sox.
ANALYSIS
Hamilton got the start at shortstop, as Ceddanne Rafaela was needed in Boston's short-staffed outfield. Tyler O'Neill's balky knee will keep him out of Sunday's series finale, which likely means another start for Hamilton. He's stolen three bases over the last two games and has 12 over 40 games.

Stat Review
How does David Hamilton compare to other hitters?
This section compares his stats with all batting seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 400 plate appearances)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that stat and it would be considered average.
* Exit Velocity and Barrels/PA % are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 400 PA) and Hard Hit Rate is benchmarked against last season's data (min 400 PA). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Impressing coaching staff
Red Sox manager Alex Cora said Thursday they believe their best defensive alignment is with Hamilton at shortstop and that the club is "very pleased" with Hamilton both offensively and defensively, reports Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican.
ANALYSIS
The 26-year-old has worked as Boston's primary shortstop over the past couple weeks while Ceddanne Rafaela has manned center field. Hamilton had a slow start to the season offensively and hit .211 in his first 14 games, but since the start of May, he has a .316/.371/.456 slash line with seven steals in 57 at-bats. Despite Cora's praises, Hamilton's defense could use some work as far as the advanced stats are concerned, since he has minus-three DRS and minus-2.4 UZR/150.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
Hamilton was acquired by the Red Sox in December 2021 in the trade that sent Hunter Renfroe to the Brewers, and the young shortstop had a .253/.341/.405 slash line with 12 home runs and 71 steals for Double-A Portland during his first year with the organization. Now 25 years old, Boston will likely want to see Hamilton at the Triple-A level in 2023, and he was added to the 40-man roster in November to protect him from the Rule 5 draft. Hamilton's work on the basepaths is clearly his best asset, and he should be in the mix to make his big-league debut if he has a solid spring training and start to the season at Triple-A.
