Hamm started his career as a reliever with Middle Tennessee State in 2021, but has slowly transitioned into a full-time starting role. During the 2023 season, he started strong but faded down the stretch and posted a 5.31 ERA over 14 starts and 79.2 innings, with a 26.1% strikeout rate and a 10.4% walk rate. He pitches with a high, three-quarter slot and has a bit of drop-and-drive action and tilt in his delivery. Hamm throws a fastball that sits in the 90-93 mph range and was up to 96, with plus carry and more than 20 inches of induced vertical break. He spots the pitch well and threw it for strikes at a 70% clip this spring, but needs to develop more feel for his secondaries. Hamm throws a 12-to-6 curveball in the 78-82 mph range and also throws a low-80s changeup with solid arm-side fading life. He’s been a fringy strike-thrower overall with better feel for his fastball than his secondaries, but has a chance to profile as a back-end starter with a bit more polish.
