Fantasy Impact:
Once considered a top prospect with elite speed, Hamilton has never really been able to add much more to his game than top-notch speed and above-average defense. The Braves picked him up in 2019, but there was little doubt that they were going to decline his expensive option for next year. He should catch on somewhere else quickly either as a fourth outfielder for a contender or a potential starter for a rebuilding or retooling squad.
