Kevin Pillar took up residence on the center-field wall for a few moments before robbing Nick Senzel
Welcome to the Majors,
The buzzworthy Reds prospect thought he'd hit his first big league home run in the third inning of Saturday's Giants-Reds game at Great American Ball Park.
His mistake? He hit it toward Pillar in center field, who's proven time and time again he's a menace to opposing hitters looking to pad their stats. He's ruined many a would-be extra-base hit, and his latest came at Senzel's expense ... and after Pillar literally hung out on the center-field wall for a few moments before adjusting and making a catch to deny Senzel:

Senzel wasn't fazed by this robbery, though -- he stepped up later in the game and successfully crushed his first career dinger:
Adrian Garro joined MLB.com in 2016. Throughout his travels, both Bartolo Colon and Vin Scully have placed their hands on his shoulders. Not at the same time, though. That'd be amazing.
