Billy Hamilton beats out ground ball to FIRST BASE for infield single (Video)
Billy Hamilton continues to amaze us with some of his incredible actions on the field.
Two days after embarrassing himself with one of the worst swings we’ve ever seen a major leaguer take, Hamilton pulled off one of the most amazing plays we’ve seen this season.
Hamilton was batting with one out in the top of the third Sunday against the Chicago Cubs and hit a simple ground ball to first baseman Anthony Rizzo. Rizzo fielded it cleanly and then was deciding whether he was going to take it to the bag himself or flip to pitcher Carlos Villanueva. In the time he was waiting for Villanueva, Hamilton, who is one of the fastest players in history, beat it out to the bag for an infield single.
Yes, Billy Hamilton got a hit on a routine ground ball to first. FIRST.
Who does that? Seriously, who the eff does that?
I thought it was pretty awesome when Hamilton scored on a routine popup to shallow right field, but this definitely topped it. This guy has insane wheels.
