River Hamilton is a 6-2, 170 pound Sophomore RHP from Sam Barlow HS in Gresham. River committed to OSU in 2022 and has been turning heads ever since. Like his Bruin predecessor Jaren Hunter, River has been dominant in sitting down opposing Mt. Hood League hitters this spring. His latest exploit was Monday's 1-0 huge upset win over Lakeridge HS in the OSAA 6A playoffs. River shut the Lakers and Paul Wilson down with a masterful 3-hit shutout, walking 2 and striking out 9.
Hamilton has made impressive gains this year with increased velocity and refinement of his secondary offerings. He has shown good command with a four pitch mix that includes a lively 90-92 mph fastball, a 79 mph slider, 75 mph curveball and change-up he can throw at varying speeds. River plays Travel Team Ball with BAUM NW. Here's a quote from Barlow HS coach, Burdick:
"A big change for us at Barlow since the first week of the season, is when right-handed pitcher River Hamilton came into the picture. We feel we can beat anyone with him on the mound, he was incredible tonight,” said Burdick. “We are a confident bunch and tonight proved we can beat anyone.”
What about Jesuit with Noble Meyer and Levi Jones? That one would sell out.
