Billy Hamilton Inside-The-Park Home Run

Base-stealing machine, future most exciting player in the Majors, and Reds prospect, Billy Hamilton hit an inside-the-park-home run this past Sunday, in near record time.

Hamilton, playing for the Double-A Pensacola Blue Wahoos rounded the bases in just 13.8 seconds.
Even crazier, he was not running at full speed as there was no throw to the plate, and he came in standing.

Hamilton, is on pace to obliterate the professional record of  145 Steals in a season, held by Vince Coleman, which he set in Macon in 1983.

Hamilton is one of kind, having both blazing speed, and base-running instincts. Combinations of the two, are rarely seen, Rickey Henderson being the last name that comes to mind, to posses both.

Once called up, Hamilton will be a major league lead-off hitter for years to come, and will be setting records every year. He would be the most feared lead-off hitter in the bigs, since Jose Reyes.

Hamilton already has 109 Steals this season, with 45 games left to play. 

For these reasons, Hamilton cracked our Top-25 prospects list, at number 8. You can view the video of his inside-the-park homer, below:
