"He has a career 14.5% swinging-strike rate and has fanned more than one quarter of his major league opponents, while maintaining a 45.9% ground ball rate."
"Despite his ability to avoid hard contact and home runs, Hamilton has a career walk rate of 11.3%, indicating a tendency to issue free passes."
"The Braves have a history of passing veterans through waivers and re-signing them, as seen with players like Jesse Chavez, Carlos Carrasco, and Martín Pérez."
Ian Hamilton, a right-handed reliever, was designated for assignment by the Braves and went unclaimed on waivers. He has been assigned to Triple-A Gwinnett but can reject this assignment for free agency due to his MLB service time. Hamilton made one appearance with Atlanta, allowing three runs in an inning. He performed better with Gwinnett, achieving a 9-to-1 K/BB ratio. Over his career, he has a 3.75 ERA and a strong ability to miss bats, though he struggles with walks.
