Top-rated Cincinnati Reds prospect Billy Hamilton pulled to within 14 steals of the Minor League Baseball single-season record last night, after swiping three bags in the Pensacola Blue Wahoo's 5-0 win over the Chattanooga Lookouts.
Hamilton now has 131 steals between Double-A Pensacola and Advanced-A with the Bakersfield Blaze this year. With 23 games remaining on the Blue Wahoo's schedule, the speedy shortstop currently sits third on the all-time MiLB single-season steals list, behind just Vince Coleman, who stole 145 bases for the Macon Redbirds in 1983, and Donnell Nixon, who amassed 144 steals for Bakersfield that same year.
