He is a Coug. Had a great year in 2018 then nose dive but only 25 yo.Juliooooo wrote: ↑Sat Sep 26, 2020 12:36 amhttps://www.mlb.com/news/mariners-sign- ... n-hamilton
Ranked prospect top 30 in 3 different sites I've seen. Looks to be a relief prospect.
Nose dive? Maybe it had a little to do with a ball coming back to him and fracturing his face. It was a little lower than the nose though. He struggled in AAA, but what pitcher didn't in 2019?D-train wrote: ↑Sat Sep 26, 2020 12:44 amHe is a Coug.

His K and Walk rate wasn't bad in AAA, and he did OK in MLB. He's probably nothing special, but should play in Seattle for at least some time next season.

The Mariners have claimed right-hander Ian Hamilton off waivers from the White Sox, per an announcement from Seattle. The White Sox designated Hamilton for assignment Sept. 18.
Thanks in part to shoulder problems, the 25-year-old Hamilton – who attended high school and college in Washington state – hasn’t taken the mound since Aug. 11. So far this season, he has thrown four innings of two-run ball with five walks against four strikeouts. In all, between this season and his debut in 2018, Hamilton has tossed 12 frames, given up seven runs (six earned), and totaled nine strikeouts against seven walks. The former 11th-round pick (2016) didn’t pitch at all in the majors last season on account of shoulder and jaw injuries.
While his MLB career hasn’t gone that well so far, there’s little harm in taking a chance on Hamilton from the Mariners’ perspective. After all, Hamilton remains a promising flamethrower who was dominant at the Triple-A level as recently as 2018. That year, Hamilton put up a 1.71 ERA/2.76 FIP and notched 9.57 K/9, 1.37 BB/9 and a 46.8 percent groundball rate in 26 1/3 innings.
He's a stud if he mentally gets over taking a blast to the face. He instantly became the #30 prospect in a loaded M's system. 70 FB, 55 slider, 40 change with 50 control. I have him as a favorit for the BP next year.
