The twenty-seven-year-old catcher finally made it to the major leagues this season, but hit just .056 in 18 at-bats, hitting a home run and scoring five runs over 22 games played. 

In the minors this season, Hamilton slashed .233/.367/.809, with 11 home runs, 43 RBIs, one stolen base and 34 runs scored over 206 at-bats. 

He is a former 23rd-round pick by the Minnesota Twins in the 2016 MLB Draft. 

He'll add some extra catching depth for the Boston Red Sox.
