    Billy Hamilton Reds minor leaguer

    Just read a piece on the speed demon really excited to see this kid in the bigs. Apparently this kid scored on a sac flay popped up to 2nd base. He is the fastest player ever timed running the bases 13.8 seconds.

    Had over 100 stolen bases B4 the all star break also. I'm interested in how he does in AA/AAA. If he could hit for a respectable avg, I could see him playing centerfield fo the Reds.

    Apparently this kid caught a ball on the warning track and he plays shortstop unfukkinreal.

    Kid looks like he is barely capable of catching a ball. He may be able to run, but I say he doesn't make it.

    he probably should not be playing SS but can get on base and run so should make it

    Saw him play here a couple times in for the blaze, which is bakersfield AAA team. He plays pretty good SS and obviously his speed is unreal. And surprisingly he is really good at the plate. Left AAA with BA around .340 I believe.

    Kid needs some work, with what I saw in that video Gee posted , he probably won't be able to play short in the majors.

    Ricky Henderson was a great base stealer, but someday, billy Hamilton will be the greatest of all time.

    he will be a serious weapon.

    picker I think campana may be as fast as Hamilton but hamilton has way more talent. notice how campana does not start for a struggling team like the cubs.

    Hamilton is an elite prospect right now

    Come on now , this kid hasn't done anything in the majors yet, Rickey had 100 stolen bases in a season when he was the same age but in the major leagues. Let's not go anointing this kid in the hall of fame just yet. That being said I'm still looking forward to seeing him play. I heard the OF talk too. I also heard his arm strength is suspect
