01/16/2009 - Under Armour Pre-Season All America - 2009 Hamman continues to show steady improvement in his baseball abilities. Hitting abilities have improved the most, now showing solid average abilities. He shows a balanced approach and loads well, getting his body into a strong position. He does have some mechanical flaws that are hindering him from reaching his full potential. Hitting grades and power will continue to improve with instruction and adjustments at the plate. On the mound, breaking ball shows potential of being a quality pitch at the next level displaying an 11/5 shape, tight spin and 2 plane break. He went right at hitters and was able to throw all his pitches for strikes. Matthew has abilities with a lot of room to continue to develop.
