The chart below is a comprehensive analysis of the games Hamilton appeared in, specifically relating to his 2008 hitting statistics.

"Josh Hamilton was a once-in-a-generation talent with a golden left arm (as a schoolboy pitcher he consistently hit 96 mph) and a vicious home run swing (his bat speed was once clocked at a ridiculous 110 mph). He was a true five-tool wonder, but what ultimately compelled Tampa Bay to choose Hamilton over another high school phenom, righthander Josh Beckett, was, ironically, Hamilton's sixth tool -- what scouts call his 'makeup.' Said a Devil Rays scout on the day Hamilton was drafted, 'I think character may have been the final determining factor. You read so many bad things about professional athletes, but I don't think you ever will about Josh.'" - Sportswriter Albert Chen in Sports Illustrated (05/27/2008, The Super Natural)
