Biographical Information[edit]
Infielder David Hamilton missed all of his junior season at the University of Texas in 2019 recovering from surgery to repair a torn Achilles tendon. In spite of this, he was selected in the 8th round of the 2019 amateur draft by the Milwaukee Brewers on the strength of his first two seasons with the Longhorns, including playing in the 2018 College World Series. He had been on scouts' radars for a while as the Los Angeles Angels had drafted him in the 28th round of the 2016 amateur draft coming out of high school.
On December 1, 2021, he was traded by the Brewers to the Boston Red Sox along with Jackie Bradley Jr. and Alex Binelas in return for OF Hunter Renfroe. It was with the Red Sox that he made his major league debut midway through the 2023 season.
He bears an uncanny resemblance to former Red Sox star Mookie Betts.
