Take a trip back to April, a time when the Boston Red Sox were plagued by infield errors. David Hamilton found himself at the center of the storm — criticized by both media and fans for his defensive mishaps and lackluster performance at the plate.
Following a challenging debut in 2023, Hamilton’s prospects in 2024 seemed bleak. However, he has experienced a remarkable turnaround. While fans still hold their breath when he takes the field, Hamilton has emerged as one of the team’s top hitters. His recent offensive surge has secured him a regular spot in the lineup.
In a recent game against the MLB-leading Philadelphia Phillies, Hamilton’s impact was undeniable. Going 2-for-4 with a crucial two-run homer, he played a pivotal role in the Red Sox’s 8-6 victory. His timely blast not only secured the win but also kept the series alive heading into Thursday’s finale.
