Must See: Hamilton climbs wall to rob Carpenter of HR



Cincinnati Reds centre fielder Billy Hamilton is known throughout the league for his incredible speed and he put his skills on display on Friday night in St. Louis.

With two outs in the bottom of the seventh inning, Cardinals first baseman Matt Carpenter stepped up to the plate and delivered a well-hit ball to straight away centre field that had enough to sail over the wall. In fact, it did go over the wall but never landed for a home run as Hamilton showed off his speed to steal an out.



If this was any other centre fielder but Hamilton there’s a good chance that would have been an easy home run for Carpenter.



Instead, he had to head back to the dugout in disbelief while pitcher Amir Garrett reacted accordingly.
