With the California-Carolina League All-Star Game now in the rear-view mirror, Reds prospect Billy Hamilton has come to the halfway point of his 2012 season having amassed 80 stolen bases in 66 official games. That number does not include the two steals the speedster collected in the Cal League's 9-1 loss to the Carolina League at BB&T Ballpark in Winston-Salem, North Carolina on June 19.
In a bit of an ironic twist, Hamilton was the victim of a theft prior to the all-star contest, having been held-up at gun-point while walking the streets of Winston-Salem. Click here for Cincinnati.com's full story.
Seemingly unfazed by the incident, Hamilton scored the Cal League's only run of the game en route to being named the league's MVP of the contest. Click here for MiLB.com's full story.
