There's no denying it…Billy Hamilton is fast.
The Reds' prospect has been struggling this year at AAA Louisville. Hamilton is a natural shortstop, but has been learning center field this season, with the expectation of being called up to the major leagues next season. However, his elevation may be delayed, as he is batting a mere .248 for the Bats.
Last night, he was able to forget his struggles.
Trailing 2-1 in the eighth inning, and facing a four-game sweep to Toledo, Hamilton smacked a line drive into center field. The Mudhens' outfielder dove for the ball and missed it. You can guess what happened next.

Hamilton's inside-the-park HR gave the Bats a 3-2 lead, which they kept for the victory.
