Bennett is a 2009 29th round draft pick by the Mets. He was immediately assigned and sent to Brooklyn for the 2009 season.
7-1-10: - Bennett is starting to emerge as the first relief pitcher from the 2010 draft to make an immediate impression. He pitched another scoreless inning, which now totals 6.0-IP for the Clones, giving up only 1-ER, while striking out two. There’s also three walks, which he’s working on, but his 1.50 ERA is impresses everyone early. Look for him to remain the first lefty out of the pen. - 13.0% BB/PA, 8.7% K/PA, .222-BABIP, 41% GB%, 0% HR/Air, 4.34-FIP, 2.30-BsRA9
5-6-11: - I spent some time today with RP Hamilton Bennett, who just arrived from extended camp. Bennett was scheduled to start the season here, but dinged himself a few weeks into ST and things had to be put on hold. Bennett first pitched for Winthrop College and in 2008, as a starter, went 1-9, 5.79. He then pitched for Tennessee Wesleyan College (7-2, 3.64, 84.0-IP, 100-K) and was drafted by the Mets in 2010 in the 29th round. Bennett made it very clear that his “go to” pitch is his fastball, but he also throws a curve and a change-up. We talked about the mindset of a reliever verses a starter, and he mentioned that he approached every pitch as if it is “two out, two on, in the ninth, up by one”.
7-11-11: - Top 10 Minor League Performances in 2011 - 7. Hamilton Bennett – RP – A/Savannah: - 2-0, 2.25, 0.94, 20-G, 32.0-IP, 33-K, 8-SV – a very pleasant surprise this year. Has very quietly turned in a great season for Savannah. Could wind up in St. Lucie before the season ends.
