About Billy Hamilton (baseball, born 1990)

Billy Rayshun Hamilton is an American professional baseball center fielder who is a free agent. He has previously played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Cincinnati Reds, Kansas City Royals, Atlanta Braves, New York Mets, Chicago Cubs, Miami Marlins, Minnesota Twins, and Chicago White Sox. The Reds selected Hamilton in the second round of the 2009 Major League Baseball draft, and he made his MLB debut in 2013. He was originally a switch-hitter until the 2021 season, when he decided to become exclusively a right handed batter after a right oblique strain. Known for his exceptional speed, Hamilton holds the Minor League Baseball single-season stolen base record with 155 steals—10 higher than the previous Minor League record set by Vince Coleman. He also holds the Cincinnati Reds record for most stolen bases by a rookie in a season, and stole 230 bases from 2014 to 2017, the most of any player in MLB over that time period. That season, while playing for the Dayton Dragons, Hamilton became the 12th minor league player to have 100 stolen bases in a season, and the first since 2001. On August 21, 2012, Hamilton stole a record 146th base in his 120th game of the season for the Pensacola Blue Wahoos.
