Steven Absher Hamilton (November 30, 1934 – December 2, 1997) was an American Major League Baseball (MLB) and National Basketball Association (NBA) player.

Hamilton began pitching full time in the American League for the Cleveland Indians' farm system in 1958.

He was a lanky 6' 6" lefty, who took advantage of his immense NBA-sized wingspan to throw sidearm, creating a particularly difficult angle for left-handed batters.

Late in his career, Hamilton threw what famously became known as "The Folly Floater", a high, slow eephus pitch.

Hamilton made his major league debut with the Indians on April 23, 1961, pitched in two games, then spent the balance of his season at the AAA level.

After his major league career ended, Hamilton was a Detroit Tigers coach in 1975 and was the athletic director at his alma mater, Morehead State University.

Tommy John, who met Hamilton while both were in the Indians organization, recalled that "he had two prominent physical characteristics, other than his height: a protruding Adam's apple that bobbed as he spoke, and a Nellie Fox-sized wad of chewing tobacco in his cheek.

Hamilton died of colon cancer at his home in Morehead, Kentucky, on December 2, 1997, and was buried in nearby Forest Lawn Garden of Memories.
