Reds farmhand Billy Hamilton has 104 stolen bases this season

[Hoosier_Vol]

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Now it all makes sense. There had to be something that goads Billy Hamilton into doing everything fast. He talks quicker than John Moschitta Jr.. He eats with breeziness that would make Joey Chestnut blush. And when he runs – well, let's just say Billy Hamilton may run the bases faster than any baseball player in history, Bo Jackson and Deion Sanders included.

"It's the Dew," Hamilton said.

He's going to be playing for Pensacola soon, which means he'll be outside Knoxville playing against the Smokies at the end of the month. I think I might try to make a game or two in that series.

That's insane. I saw Vince Coleman in A ball steal 145 bases, but 100 at mid season is in Nother stratosphere.

How many times caught stealing?

How many times caught stealing?

20 or so if I recall correctly. Apparently he's still learning how to steal bases amazingly enough.

There is a story that a LF lost a ball it the sun, and Billy ran in down in the outfield close to the warning track. Lol

Not to take any glory from Bad Billy Hamilton, but Andrelton Simmons did the exact same thing for the last out in JUCO World Series for the final out in one of the games.

Just saw him this past series, with PCola.

He is the fastest human I have ever seen play baseball. Dee Gordon is a close second.

On AA catchers he is stealing bases sometimes with bad leads/jump. That will change once he is in the Bigs. He is still learning though.

Gordon was fun to watch when he was with the Lookouts.
