What stands out to me is his pitch ratings. There is a disconnect between his poor (3 pitches) pitch ratings and his stuff and movement ratings.
I can't find pitchers in my league who match his stuff and movement without having better pitches. The closest analogue to Hamels is below. His walk rate is 30% higher matching the control ratings but his better pitches match his ratings such that he allows 10% less hits. HR are park factored so don't tell us much.
I think it's clear that Hamels pitch ratings suggests overall ratings of 12 10 16 maybe 14 11 16.

Individual Pitch Ratings
Each pitcher in OOTP can throw an assortment of different pitches, displayed in the Player Profile or on the Player Ratings page. Just as with other pitching ratings, pitchers have "current" and "potential" rating for each pitch. Higher individual pitch ratings mean a higher likelihood of getting hitters out. Additionally, a pitcher's repertoire has a strong impact on the role in which the pitcher will be successful. Typically, a pitcher (with the exception of knuckleballers) needs at least three solid pitches to be an effective starting pitcher in a major league. The lower the league level, the fewer pitches a pitcher needs to compete.
