STONY BROOK, N.Y. — Stony Brook first baseman Chris Hamilton earned first-team All-America East honors last season while producing career highs in average, home runs and RBIs.

The gaudy output has caught the attention of number crunchers at D1Baseball.com.

The baseball website took an analytic approach in attempt to determine under-the-radar prospects. And that includes Hamilton, who was identified as one of the top 150 hitters in Division I.

The calculation took into account plate discipline, the ability to reach base and power numbers. The results were adjusted to account for college ballparks with varying dimensions. 

Author David Seifert suggested the calculation "is all about bat skill and identifying hitters who have statistically performed in areas that are proven to correlate into professional baseball."

Hamilton ranks 122nd in Division I with an overall score of 81.1 on a 100-point scale.

He scores 81.7 for plate discipline, 77.5 for ability to reach base and 72.9 for power.

The 6-foot-2, 220-pound Hamilton,  a senior, hit .325 with eight homers and 42 RBIs in 200 at-bats last season. That included a 4-for-4 performance against LSU in the Baton Rouge Regional.

"It's not surprising that Chris is in that top 150," said coach Matt Senk, who enters his 30th season as the helm of the Seawolves. "He's a professional hitter. He hits for power. He hits for average. He uses the whole field. He also has the ability to bunt. He's as complete a hitter as you're going to find."
